Someone on another thread said that putting a cotton ball on a straw and tapping each flower will increase the yield.
If my tomatoes get big enough, that’s what I’ll try this year. It sounds easier than a Q-tip to hand pollinate each one.

usualy just a thump on the lower thick vine ... thumb and forefinger ... is all that is needed. Very seldom that unless you are in a totally still greenhouse environment.
Hug your kids in the morning
Thump your tomatoes in the afternoon
I'd better stop there while I am ahead

I ordered some blossom set spray for tomatoes and vegetables that I mail ordered from Jumgs. I plan to try it on tomatoes and squash becausi I am worried about blossom drop with all the windy days here in the Colorado Rockies.
