I spy with my little eye... A tomato blossom! Looks like we could have bunch more blossom this week too. I'm not exactly sure how tomato plants work but I think the blossom are where the tomatoes eventually grow out of. Once I get a few flowers I will attempt to pollinate by either placing a fan near the plants to blow air at them or manually shake the plants in hopes that I can get flowers to pollinate each other. I hope I get this pollination thing figured out!

Just a top view of my basil, it's really growing well again. Won't be long until I have enough for harvest and we can do basil massacre round two!

It is one of the best one... im taking it to my phn wallpaper

Tomatoes grow out from the blossom. Dont shake the plant, it is fragile. Use a soft artist paint brush and gently brush the stamens. Cross pollinating each one. Hope this works for you.

Thanks, good advice!

amazing :)
