For the tomatoes you can try finding a newly opened flower and holding it gently in thumb and ring finger see if you can tap out some pollen with your trigger finger onto finger of other hand. Then gently dab the flower stamens of other flowers in the pollen on finger. Best done midmorning when pollen will be more freely available.
Try several flowers if the first doesnt give up pollen, but when you get a willing giver you can get enough pollen to dab on dozens of flowers
Hi Im Richard, and I am a tomatoaholic :wave1:


Much easier to use an old toothbrush... :wink:

Plants are powering along as well , but the corn looks a bit stunted :think: :D

gotta tell the corny jokes i guess....... got flowers though :P

Shade house didnt come up as good as i wanted, playing with un even ground and i used light imported steel to keep cost down, and i also didnt realise how botchy the screws would look as on my pergola (made simular) they are screwed off underneath so u cant see the screws. but it does the job, when we get our own place i will be building a simular version of Homes-a-court style greeny.

its fully sealed iv made a surround to seal the door way up and hoping to keep most things out :)

got my Bees in paintbrush form now :D

once the locust threat is gone i will roll the ends up and allow bees to get in.

all working well still!
