i have acquired some veggies...tomatoes and peppers. being that i am growing indoors, i will have to artificially pollenate. What is the best method? Or is my circulation fan enough to do the deed? Never have i buzzed like a bee before

| yes the fan on its own should be suffice. both tomatos and peppers are monoecious they would likely reproduce even with minimal airflow.. don't go bringing bees indoors now.  | ||

| If you get too anxious to help them ive seen famers use makeup brushes. Those puffy brushes for womens face powder. You can dab them from flower to flower if you want to transfer any of it yourself. Although you should be all set.

| haha buzz. I like the makeup brush idea tho, i had been using a qtip, seemed a bit unwieldy with the flowers not exactly exploding with pollen. Just two weeks til my bees arrive!
