Tomatoes - how to get the blooms to set

[Cody Wellard]

My tomatoes have been blooming for a couple of weeks, is there a process to ensure that the blossoms set?
Cheers!

well if there is not a lot of bees where your tomatoes are, shaking the flowers gently will aid in pollination. some people use an electric toothbrush and brush the underside of the flower to release the pollen
