Pinch off the first flowers to encourage more growth, and more tomatoes :) I don't see why you are hand pollinating although? I grow some inside also, and never had to do that before :) GL!!!
Reply:Shaking the plant will pollinate , so will an electric tooth brush. Touch the stem where the flowers cluster. Vibration is the key.. The insect that pollenates tomato's is the bumble bee. An yes every time you see more open flowers.
Reply:tomato plants are one of the easiest plants to grow.just let it do its thing.they are self pollinators.
Reply:Why not? The wind should pollinat for you so you don't have to. I would but hey what do I know?
