I did grow a pair of tomatoes last winter in my greenhouse and it
sorta
worked. I had a few ripe tomatoes in early March, but I had to make
sure I paid attention to the plants and hand-pollinated the flowers.

I was doing that with cucumbers before we uncovered them. The zucchini
were far easier...lol.

So long as you get male and female blooms at the same time! :-)

Been there, done that.

I was out just this morning helping the zucchini to commit lewd and
lascivious acts. Lots of boys, not so many girls. Some of the boys
got left out. (

lol Not enough girls! Oh well! ;-D


Occasionally I've found a girl who was such a trollop that she was
willing to accept the pollen from lots of the boys. You oughta see
her batting her petals at them. Disgraceful!!! tch tch. ;o)

ROFL!!! I've seen Corn Silk like that...
