Q-tips…Let me explain…
Ever have vegetable plants in your garden that have all these beautiful blossoms but never really produce anything beyond that?
Your plants may need help with cross-pollination. Many plants have male and female flowers. The flowers need to exchange pollen in order for the plant to produce any fruit (or vegetables).
If you do not have enough pollinating insects in your garden (ex. honey bees, bumble bees, etc.) then you may have to help your plants exchange pollen.
Take a Q-tip and lightly touch the center of the flower where to pollen is. Go from flower to flower to help spread the pollen and increase the cross-pollination possibilities.
If you do this, should find that you have a bit more growing than just flowers
Happy Pollinating!
