4 of 4 it was a good year......for me. It was a rough year for the other tomato growers in Colorado. The heat and drought really played a role in tomato blossoms not setting. I hand polinate my blooms and the other growers don't. Very few if any of the blooms I didn't buzz set. You don't even need to paint the pollen back on after catching it in the spoon. You can just bump the stigma in the shed pollen on the spoon and that will do it.
