To make a tomato bloom set spray, combine one tablespoon of Epsom salt with one gallon of water. Optionally, you can add a few drops of liquid seaweed or a mild liquid fertilizer to enhance the nutrient content. Spray this mixture on the flowers of your tomato plants in the early morning or late afternoon to encourage pollination and fruit set. Be sure to apply it every couple of weeks during the blooming period for the best results.

What is the aestivation in tomato flower?
Aestivation in tomato flowers refers to the arrangement of the flower parts, particularly the petals and sepals, before the flower opens. In tomato, the petals are typically folded back against each other in a bud, which is a characteristic form of aestivation known as "valvate" aestivation. This arrangement helps protect the reproductive structures inside the bud until the flower is ready to bloom. Understanding aestivation is important for breeding and cultivation as it can influence pollination and fruit set.

To set an impulse sprinkler to a shower spray, first locate the adjustment knob or lever, usually found on the top of the sprinkler head.

Make sure the water flow is turned on, and then test the spray to ensure it distributes water evenly in a shower-like pattern. Adjust further if necessary to achieve the desired coverage.

How do you use a tomato cage?
It depends on which type of tomato cage you are using. If it is the wire cage, you simply wait until the tomato plant has been growing in your garden for about 3 weeks. Then set the cage over top the tomato plant and push the wire legs down into the soil. It is better to try this when the soil is soft after a rain.
Do tomatillos self pollinate?
Tomatoes are pollinated when a bee visits the blossom. You can also help the plant to set more tomatoes by using a bloom set spray. Tomatoes are fertilized by cross pollination by flying insects, especially when grown outdoors. When grown in glasshouses (greenhouses) fertilization may be done by the gardener using a camel-hair brush to pass pollen from flower to flower. Gently shaking the plants will free pollen into the air, which may float onto a neighboring plant. In the past, I have used the shaking method on ten tomato plants in a small greenhouse, and had good results.
