Fun tomato fact for a Monday! Did you know that we use electric toothbrushes as an important tool in our pollination process? Pollination for tomatoes takes place when the "anther" portion of the plant drops pollen onto the "stigma" portion of the plant. Typically this occurs when bees, wind, or other critters wiggle the plants. At West Mont, our clients move through the greenhouses with electric toothbrushes to help to shake the "anther" portion and assist our tomato plants in the pollination process.
