'Michael',

Simply get a small thin cane, make a slit in its end, fluff up some
cotton wool into a small ball, insert it into the slit and gently flick
the tomato blossom with the cotton wool ball.

Soon you will see that the cotton wool becomes yellowish and then you
will realise that you are being effective in transferring the pollen.

Some growers syringe the plants daily with clear water to assist
pollination and others merely flick the strings securing them, to that
end.

Hello,

Question here from a Newbie. We are growing Tomatoes indoors. They are
gardeners delight.

Someone mentioned that growing them indoors might be a problem as they
may
need pollinated by insects. Is this true? If so, can they be manually
pollinated?
