pollination
I’ve got tonnes of flowers but no tomatoes, what the hell?
It’s all about the birds and the bees.
Here’s how it works (don’t laugh): fruit requires pollination to actually produce. You’ve grown a great looking plant, lots of beautiful flowers, and now you’re waiting for the fruit to show. For this to happen, the pollen from your male flowers needs to make it over to the female flowers, if you know what I’m saying.
Normally, bees go from flower to flower throughout your yard collecting pollen to make honey back at the hive. Inevitably, they transfer a bit from one flower to another, thereby pollinating and allowing the fruit to develop. I like to think of bees as the original artificial insemination scientist of nature, but really they’re just pimps looking for some sugar.
Sometimes, this doesn’t always happen though. Why?
