Not just neighbours toms that are rubbish
« on: June 17, 2012, 19:59 »
I posted a little while ago about our neighbours tomato plants- plenty of leaves and flowers but no fruit forming.  We thought it was because he had saved seeds from last years tomatoes he grew (which were excellent btw) maybe being F1.   
Today he was saying 2 other neighbours have had failed tomatoes, not one fruit to be had- and they bought tomato plants from different places.

We have no fruit on our orange trees this year, we put that down to the very late frosts, not normal for this part of Spain.  But no fruit on any of the neighbours tomatoes, really odd.

Have they got bees/insects around to pollinate the flowers? If not they could try fertilizing with a paintbrush!!!

There are plenty of bees, I hear them buzzing in my flower garden,  A bee farmer has put around 120 hives about 2 km from here, I wonder if they would fly this far?
