Tomato glut

Loads of bees here in Surrey garden. We even have a colony of bumbles in a bird nesting box for the 2nd year running.
However I have noticed that there are a lot of bees coming indoors looking a bit sad- I rescue about 4 day & put them outside.

WI did sterling work promoting plight of bees over last 4 years & got Government to act on it but then their Centenary Rose bred for next year's celebrations is not bee friendly- very disappointing.

Before anyone asks - you can tell a sad bee, they look all droopy.

Bees all gone today by the look of it & wasps have taken over so I think they have killed off the bees for the nest & food.

I have skinned them then frozen them whole in poly bags to use later in soups, casseroles etc.

Also make a fairly concentrated tomato sauce for pasta which I freeze in plastic boxes.

I doubt we will have that many this year, everything seems a bit late.

Paula, I think they do grow as we get little plants growing from the composted soil where we threw tomatoes. They do say use 'fresh' seed from packets - is that because of potential disease or just to make you buy new seed?

I have grown peppers from pepper seeds from a bought pepper and pumpkin from seeds from a pumpkin.

Am I on the right thread here?
