I have 4 little containers that I planted with
tomatoes and under the tomatoes basil, cilantro, strawberry spinach. The tomato plants have made some really big, yellow flowers, that I got really excited about, even though I have never seen such big flowers on our plants. In our real veggie garden the tomatoes have set
fruit, and I rarely see an open yellow flower 2 days in a row. I don't know if this is because I pay WAY WAY less attention to each individual plant down there, or if something is up with these plants in the containers. The flowers have been on the plant for at least 4 days, and they are big. In the veggie garden I plant mostly cherry or smaller tomatoes because of the sun exposure, in the containers I think I planted one larger variety, I don't totally remember, some were random seeds I had saved without labelling, some were from
seed savers, and I think it was a large variety, a hungarian purple which I think is the only one without any flowers as of yet.
So I guess my question is, do I need to try to help pollination, give up hope or just be patient?
Thanks to all!
