Field note

tomatoes in isolation are both growing excellent this year

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

tomatoes in isolation are both growing excellent this year, but also sparse on tomatoes. we had a few weeks of rain and high humidity, which affects pollination. this week has been try and hot, so hopefully an improvement. tomatoes will self pollinate so this setup to keep the bees away works, we don't get as much fruit but the ones that do set are true to type for our seed shop. it's also somewhat helpful for frost, and given this week maybe i'll find out if it will deter bears.
