Latest tomato tip: smack 'em with a broom!

Tomatoes don't rely on bees or butterflies for pollination.

The wind knocks the blossoms and scatters the plant's pollen. So if you have planted your buddy in a corner of the backyard, or other place that doesn't get much breeze, be sure to haul off and whack the tomato's stake or cage with a broomstick, to get that pollen around!

Sounds too simple, but believe me, it works!
