growing things inside & pollination

[Bee]

Good afternoon, and I hope it's as sunny where you are as it is here in Glasgow 8)

I've been growing tomato & pepper plants inside as I don't have a green house and Glasgow weather is too unpredictable to put them outside. But someone asked me yesterday how they pollinate and I realised that maybe I need to play mother nature a bit to help them to fruit. Does anyone here know 1) if this is necessary and 2) how I do it??

Apologies if this has already been discussed else where, but if not I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

try this thread

I've been playing mothor nature to my chilli plants on the ChilliMonsters suggestion and they're doing very nicely

yep that thread pretty much covers it.

i have put mine outside at the moment to let mother nature sort it out, but if the temperature drops i shall get out the paint brush.

Thanks so much! I didn't see that thread - will have to look harder before I post next time I'll find myself a paintbrush and get pollinating this weekend
