You do this by taking a small brush and gently stoke the yellow flowers of the first plant and then use the same brush to stoke the yellow flowers of the second plant. I did not know this! Apparently bees do this for you if you plant tomatoes outdoors.<br /><br />To tell you the truth even after I brought these plants home, I didn't know they were male and female. How do you tell?Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.com
