“Tomatoes and other edible plants are self-pollinating because the flowers have both male and female reproductive parts. One tomato plant can easily produce on its own, without you having to plant another. However, poor pollination may occur due to high temperatures and too much humidity.”

Is it still unseasonably hot?

Well that’s good to know that they pollinate themselves.

We do get high temps but very low humidity. Our temps are starting to go down. It was 84* today. My husband always said we will have a break in the weather about the time the kids go back to school.

Off to watch some TV now. Goodnight.
