Broad beans at this time of year Create a landing platform for the black fly this attracts black ants the simple solution is nip out the top tip which is what I chucked in compost today as always happy gardening Richardx
😂😂 I have done that wiped out a vlog (or 2 😂😂). Yep tickle your tomatoes gently 👍. Flower drop is from heat not to worry too much. It’s awesome to get a fresh harvest. Have a super day Amie, Ali 🇨🇦
I think tomatoes are self-pollinating. 👍 There's barely a buzz or a flutter in my garden and I'm looking at some nice fruits coming on. They do get a nice breeze, which must help shake the pollen into the flower.
Hi, just found you, it's all looking great and loving how you have been harvesting. Pete and I only started our allotment this year, would love you to follow us and give us the tips and tricks you have learnt along the way. x
What size pots are your tomatoes planted, as now have a tunnel house, but garden in the southern hemisphere, so its winter here. Will try a few earlier plants keep them alive in our house until frosts are finished.
Yup definitely tickle those tomato flowers x

Indeed, just shake the plant
Ah okay! Thank you! They are getting a little breeze with the air flaps open 😁
Yep shake or be posh with a make up brush just brush around flowers as always happy gardening Richardx
@@RichardTaylorgardening I love the idea of going around with a little makeup brush and pollinating my tomatoes. 😆

Thank you for following! I will pop over and follow back ☺️
Wow looking amazing over there! Everything growing so good! Trying anything new this season?
Most of it is new, to be honest 🙈🙈 I’m fairly familiar with tomatoes, cucumbers, chard and potatoes but the rest is scary territory 🤣
Your broad beans are ready to eat, one year picked some at french bean size and convinced the husband to eat them. Not allowed to do it again.
Have picked a bunch today!
Bout the extent of my harvests in the garden hey?? But so good!! LOL!!
Ahaha honestly I was so excited for the spring onions 🥹
@@AmiesAllotment Better than nothing!! Spring onions...carrots...and potatoes if you can't grow anything!! Basic casserole/soup food if nothing else!!
