thanks and another ?

Thanks so much for the help and for letting me know the list got my plea!
 I will try the blossom set and see what happens.  I don't think it's too
warm (yet) the plant is about 4 feet away from the cinderblock wall.  I
don't know about a mineral problem.  It is planted with one other patio
in a huge bag of potting soil (called a growing bag--you just cut two
slits and plant your transplants and watch them grow).  We saw this
method in a book and decided to try it with two patios.  The rest of our
tomatoes are square foot.  The other patio in the bag is doing
fine--could there still be a mineral problem?  We fertilized about
two-three weeks ago but I will give them some more.  I could be
overwatering I suppose since the growing bags are not exposed to the wind
and are self-contained they don't lose water as fast and I tend to forget
that when I water the rest.  Anyway, the suggestions were good and I'll
give them a try (less water, more food, and blossom set).

Another question:

We bought a six pack of eggplants at Lowe's and they were a little yellow
when we bought them.  We put them in the garden, fed them, watered them
and they are still a yellowish green.  Having never done eggplant before,
is this their natural color?  I'm used to the green of squash and
tomatos, but these are a little more limey yellow green than the sugar
snap peas (boy are those growing!).  Should we worry or do something to
help them and if so, what?
