It's been super hot here for the last week or so. Usually that makes it so the tomatoes won't set. All these baby tomatoes are flowers that I have been buzzing for pollen. When I get pollen I gently bump the stamen against the spoon to get the vibration I need to bump out the pollen. I'm guessing when I do this it also has the bonus effect of sticking the pollen that has dropped into the spoon on to.the stamen. Probably a great way to set tomatoes even if your not hand painting them. You will also get a feel for when the flowers are producing pollen. Better that just shaking and pray method. :).
