I think this is the start of the very first tomato and I’m so unreasonably excited I managed to get from seeds to a tomato growing oh my god! It’s so tiny still! But it’s there!

    Try taking a q-tip or small paintbrush to manually pollinate those zucchini flowers in the morning when they’re open - just swirl it in the male flowers (the ones with thin stems) and then into the females (with tiny zucchini bases) and you’ll have more zukes than you know what to do with in no tme!

      Hey! Thanks for the tips. Since I posted that the plants have started ramping up production and I have several zucchini both harvested and growing. The plants do seem to like to make male flowers much more than female and I iwsh it were the other way around. So it goes!
