Tomatoes are self polinating but..........

 TIP

Did you know that tomatoes are self pollinating and don't need bees to move pollen? Altho' bees can do this - you can do this too.

Sometimes I use an electric toothbrush to vibrate the blossoms, so the fluffy pollen drops to the sticky stigma.  I like to do this with my morning coffee, when the bees are out working - they know the best time to work with the pollen.

I think I get more tomatoes when I take the time to do this.  Of course, there is no way of telling how many more tomatoes I get, but it is a very pleasant time in the garden, and I do get a huge crop of tomatoes, so . . . ? ? ?
