No problem with pollinators in your g'house then tim - do you have a beehive in there? ;)

Our 'local' tomato grower uses bees.

Yes - all fine & dandy now - but it's continuity I'm worried about. But grandpa - why aren't there any more??
Just ordered more seeds.

I grow some foxgloves in pots by the GH door which attracts the bees and the bees seem to wander in and take care of the pollination for me.
I'm growing a hebe near to the GH, at the moment it is quite small so not much help, but a full size hebe in my front garden is covered with bees so I'm hoping this will happen around the GH as well.

PS Also have a hebe in the veg patch.

Foxgloves are great for that, aren't they?

If you're planning to sow toms now tim, what variety - and greenhouse only?

Foxgloves round the greenhouse door, what a brilliant idea, if sown around my shed too hopefully the bees will deter the two legged pests. My neighbour's strawberries have been scrumped twice >:(
