When the flowers are fully developed, syringe the plants daily with
clear tepid water to assist polination. Or polinate by splitting an end
of a small cane and trapping cotton wool in the split, tease it into a
ball, and then gently dab the open flowers with the wool. That is my
preferred method.

A silly question, but can you pollinate from the same plant? All mine are
in different stages of flowering so it's unlikely that there'll be more than
one plant flowering at once. But we do adjoin allotments so I suppose there
are lots of tomatoes there for insect pollination...

Yes, but IIRC the flowers will self-pollinate if no insect does it for
you. I have never hand-pollinated tomatoes.
