definitely fewer insects around this year - but still my tomatoes had no pollination issues - and they are all gh grown. I understand tomatoes pollinate via vibration - either being buzzed by insects or breeze. I have the doors and windows open in my greenhouse.

overwhelmed with tomato harvest - freezer space is scarce. All the self saved seeds worked well, although the yellow plum tomatoes are more orangey this year. still delicious.

a few have gone red, most are just getting a little yellower

the red ones are nice, considering i am dressed in feathers and goretex they are probably not ripening much today

next year they will have a sunny spot, to get it while they can, if there is any

this year cloud forest plants might have been a good choice, a few years back desert things would have thrived(note, must get desert things inside for the winter)

i grow a few things for fun, trying to decide which crops to feed folk etc must be very difficult as each year is very different to recent ones

I grew chillies again this year, they did much better than expected given the weather
