Pollination quality…🐝🐝 When we bring hives from Biobest to the greenhouse, we check some points, like the amount of bees, the activity of them Every week also we measure the flowers to check of setting, when we see a few brush marks on the flowers we say: “ yes, it must be fine” and we wait for the ripening stage. In your opinion, how many bite marks are fine for a good setting? Is it different for each variety (tomato 🍅 )? For examples between cherry tomatoes and big ones?

🍅🐛Did you know that all of those tomato hornworms you see on your tomato plants are planning to borrow into the ground and turn into THIS? 🤯 I was lucky enough to catch this tomato hornworm in the act of digging down into the ground. A few weeks later I excavated and the big green caterpillar that I saw dig down had turned into this! Here in the Napa Valley, we have two different types of moths that are considered to be “tomato hornworms.” Last year hummingbird moths seem to be everywhere. They are pretty mesmerizing when they visit your garden. 🧚🏽 The other tomato hornworm is commonly called a tobacco hornworm. That moth is generally considered to be a lot less beautiful but still usually serves a pretty important purpose in our environment. If you do find hornworms on your vegetables this summer, consider moving the worms onto one of your native plants and letting it continue its lifecycle. Moths are important pollinators so consider moving hornworms onto native plants.. or fuchsia, apple, grape, clarkia, purslane, etc.

MAKE ROOM FOR RANDOM: I grow tomatoes from seed following a precise protocol of seedling germination, seedling transfer, appropriate soil composition, moisture, heat, and light exposure. You can see the results of my precise work here in one of my greenhouses. Except for the monster tomato plant in the foreground, which is completing kicking my cultivated tomatoes’ collective ass. That plant is the result of my shoving a nearly-rotten tomato in a pot of old soil then completely forgetting about it.

Considered a ‘herb’ when its leaves are harvested fresh, and a ‘spice’ when its seeds are the object of attention, coriander is not difficult to cultivate once you understand that it prefers to grow into cooler temperatures rather than the heat of summer. For that reason, warm and sub-tropical region gardeners should sow seed during mid-autumn to early winter while southern and cold region growers need to have seed in the ground no later than mid spring. https://lnkd.in/ghSV-i3R
