Re: *%&$#@ Moles! (Tomatillos)

Have been seeing a number of entries about tomato pollination and lack
of fruit.

Many years ago in a forgotten magazine there was an article of
experiments in a greenhouse where tomato plants, while not themselves ,
were the subject, were being used as the "vehicles" of the study. A side
effect was noted that while the plants grew & flowered well there was
little if any fruit development. At that time it was decieded that the
cause was a lack of drop in the night time temperature. Lack of insects
to pollinate, or pollination was not to my recollection, mentioned. Have
never had that difficuly personally, always felt that the wind and/or
rain did a good job. Have never noted bees etc around tomato plants.
Hope this helps.
