By The Time I Get A Homestead, I Will Be A Gardening Pro

...or at least that's what I tell myself, as I learn so much from mistakes now. 😌

My Hatch chiles, which have been indoors for a couple of months now, have made many blooms but they then die and fall off and haven't been going to fruit. It looks like ONE is going to fruit now. So I googled, "should I hand pollinate Hatch chiles indoors?"

Yes, apparently, I should. Oops. LOL.

So I went at the remaining blooms with a swab today. The one that is setting probably got shaken enough by myself or this guy that pollenation happened:

Now I know! Will hand pollinate in future. 😅
