Pollination Guidlines?
What is pollinated in what way?
My understanding is that: Courgettes (zucchinis) require bees or hands. Strawberries seem to need bees(?) Tomatoes are apparently air/wind. The only other flowering items that I presently do, are capsicums (green peppers), beans, and cucumbers. My vague understanding is that they all need bees. Although maybe this is due to having a small number of plants, with a lot fewer flowers compared to the same quantity of tomato plants. Although I am thinking about trying some other veggies in the future. Might be able to make space for a little corn, or watermelons. I seem to be reasonably OK on bees here. But perhaps I could put some bee-attracting flowers near the veggies that need them. Especially while I am reducing the dandelions, etc, from the grass areas. Can someone recommend a chart or something? Thanks... -- Get Credit Where Credit Is Due http://www.cardreport.com/ Credit Tools, Reference, and Forum |
