Only flowersGuess it's just not meant to be......
Fudgey, my luck was like that last year! I was expecting beautiful bell peppers in purple, orange and red and got almost nothing. My tomatoes didn't fare much better. Time to go to a farm stand or farmers market!!
My big boy tomatos have turned into large cherry tomatos..the heat is just killing them. But there is a lot of new growth among the yellow leaves..so maybe I will get a bumper crop later in the summer. I also suspept some bug activity, but I can't spot them..lots of dark spots on the tomatos and chewed up leaves. I will trim them up and keep on watering and feeding.
Fudgy, I am sorry about your tomatos! The only thing I can suggest is getting a q tip and trying to pollinate from flower to flower.

how about a pastic garabage bag....cover the plant in flower....shake it a bit...take it to the next one.....could that work for pollinating ?
I will have to try that next time!
I only have one, but I could do that to this one, just put it over it and shake. Like shake and bake
I do know we have bees around, I have found them in the pool.
LOL....bees in the pool and wasp and beetles and june bugs.....YUCK!!!! I know they just want water but sheesh!!
At least they are big enough to skim out ! Here you have these teeny tiny gnats.......eeewwwww....
Why do those bugs and snakes and possums want to commit suicide in pools? I got tired of fishing them out!
We have those too, annoying!!!
One summer we got 3 squirrels out of the pool
One of them I saved he was on my kickboard barely hanging on. When I grabbed the board he didn't even care. Luckily we haven't had any this year, always happens when we haven't had enough rain for them to have water.
I haven't checked out this thread before so I guess I should show off what I grew last year. They are some kind of lilly and I was shocked spitless that they flowered at all because I have a black thumb. I wasn't sure they would come back this year but they are just starting to open now and I'm going to get a few more this year.

A bulb. Some kids where trying to raise money for their school so I bought these bulbs from them not really expecting anything to grow since everything I try to grow dies. Was I surprised!
