Hi everyone, advice needed! I have planted some vegies in my
greenhouse this year, as it's the only way I can keep kids and dogs
from destroying everything. Unfortunately, I forgot about
pollination! Nothing much can get in there, and being in the city,
there aren't many insects around anyway, excepting ants. So far I
have tomatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, pawpaw and runner beans planted. I
have a vague idea on pollinating pumpkins, but nothing on the rest.
The runners have already started flowering, the zucchinis are
popping up buds, but the rest is still growing. Any help would be
very much appreciated! I can't leave the door open; I already tried,
and the dogs just dug everything up....don't get me started on what
the kids did! So everything will have to stay shut.



Have you tried flitting from flower to flower with a soft camel hair
paint brush (photo brush?)

Used to work for my old man
