This post has nothing to do with the writer James Joyce, but instead marks the first appearance of flowers on my cherry tomato plants, planted 44 days ago. The Aerogarden Bounty has been bubbling along, and now the Mega Cherry Tomatoes have set their first blooms. I've already made a pass with my "Be the Bee" pollinator, which is a plastic wand with a vibrating bee-shaped brush on the end. This shakes pollen free in the flowers and allows the tomato blooms to self-pollinate. With a little more patience, I should be soon enjoying fresh, home-grown tomatoes.
