OOOOh....this is to stimulate the flowers..I thought of that botany film which shows the bees legs full of some kind of dust which does the pollination so I’m in visioning qtipping with some kind of dust...thanks.

Zotted?

Maybe I don’t know. Her last post was Dec 7 @ 10:53 pm.
How does one know for sure, when a poster gets the official zot?

She’s viable. Click on her name-if a screen comes up that says that a poster has been banned/suspended, they’re gone, at least temporarily.

LOL That dust on the bee’s legs is pollen it has been collecting. Typically you wont see many honey bees buzzing around tomato flowers. Honey bees do not pollinate tomatoes because they cannot get to the pollen and the flowers do not produce nectar. Other pollinating insects can help pollinate a tomato flower. They are the cause of cross-pollination.

Good idea about writing a letter to your grandchildren that includes directions for growing their own vegetables.

You know they are going to need that soon if things continue the way they are.

I have heard of gardeners using cordless tooth (teeth?) brushes to vibrate the Mater bushes to pollinate them them. I just walked along and rattled the bushes in their cages...

Yeh, I think shaking and filcking works well enough no need to go overboard with tooth brush vibrations - might damage the tender flowers, knock them off the stem entirely.

Rita,
thank you for your gracious apology! We all have bad days. I definitely can be a real Shit sometimes....not that I am labeling you that, just a term I refer to myself sometimes.

Hope you have a Peaceful and Very Merry Christmas!!!

No dandelion wine, not after the deer tramp thru my yard and leave their little mementoes.
