Last year I discovered a trick with those flowers. Most don't get pollinated and if you give each flower a shake it will self-pollinate and increase the crop.

If you want fruit....pinch and prune on.a daily basis!
The bushes will make a lot more fruit if you prune and pinch back the numerous sprouts. Watch, please!

@NoPlanetB ummm
My pruned tomatoes into large bushes produce heavily. I don't hurry mine. I also like go grow them in 5 foot high x 2 ft. Diameter cages. We can never use them all but we eat them year round. Canned, dried, and fresh. I cut back this year since the pantry looks good. This year will make tomato preserves that will last a couple of years...

Posted by FrostyJimBerries do very well in Alaska... I'm growing strawberries, honeyberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and black currants ...oh and rhubarb too - it goes well with berries in a pie, jam, or cobler!
Posted by FrostyJimSo that's how it works...
Posted by FrostyJim...why didn't I think of that?
Posted by FernappleIts the time for one of my favourite flowers, Primula florindae, the giant cowslip to flower. The cinnamon scent fills the garden on warm days.
Posted by FrostyJimIt's almost salad season. It is amazing how fast my salad greens grow in just 3 weeks since setting out my seedlings in our long Alaska summer days...

Posted by FernappleNature is the best gardener still. All nature asks is a little space, that's all. Maybe no more than a slightly leaky fall pipe, and a bit of neglected wall, and you have a perfect tiny garden.
Posted by JolantaNematodes are helpful too.
