kristen:There are probably some things that need no pollination (can't think of one off hand - well, potato tubers would be one, but that's cheating a bit!).

french beans and peas are completely self pollinating...........no insects or wind required.........do these count   :)
(pollen and stigma are in direct contact before the flower even opens )

Now that's mean.

I grow Dwarf French Beans in the greenhouse SPECIFICALLY because they need no insect pollination.

You're just taking advantage of the failing memory of a old-fart, aren't you?  :tongue2:
