Would like to get some information regarding tomatos, what to spray on bloosoms to guarantee each bloosom to produce a tomato.

You can hope there are enough bees and butterflies to pollinate all of the blossoms. However, since honeybees seem to be dying off, you can go to the L&G Center and buy some Tomato Blossom Set. It is a chemical that fakes the tomato into thinking it's been pollinated and therefore the fruit develops. It's sad we have to artificially do it because the pollinators are becoming so scarce.

I have had this problem. Few bees and other pollinating creatures so I took a piece of paper and placed it under some blossoms. Tapped on them and caught pollen. (couldn't actually tell if I did or not) Then I took the paper and "sprinkled the pollen over other plants blossoms. Worked for me. Maybe I was just lucky and maybe the plants had actually been pollonated. Whatever happened, I got tomatoes.

Didn't know that there was anything like that?
I have never had a problem with the yellow flowers turning into tomato's.
And, I have never saw any bee's around my plants too. Maybe their doing it and I don't even know it.
I have tomato plants in a huge flower pot and is near a window that I can see.
Hmmmmm, I learned something new here!

Didn't know of a spray. I grow 30 -40 plants a year and never spray them. They produce good tomato
