Hi, I'm completely new to growing anything other than flowers but this year I have started growing many different types of veg. This year is just a learning curve to see what I can grow and how to grow them.
I need some advice on pollination of various plants please.
I have Sweetcorn growing in my unheated greenhouse and it is literally romping away. I don't intend to plant it outside at all as I live in the Scottish Highlands right next to the coast and it would be futile. I only have 3 plants growing and I'd like to know how to hand pollinate, bearing in mind I haven't a clue which is the male or female part.
I also have Tomatoes romping away, again staying in the greenhouse. Do I just leave these to self pollinate or do I have to do it?
Same goes for Sweet peppers (which now have yellow flowers), Cucumber and bush courgettes.
All advice appreciated.
