Thank you, Craig. I will certainly pay closer attention to my bee population. We do have sweat bees, and didn't I read that they are more likely to do the pollinating? I have noticed mediocre bee activity in the early morning among the squash blossoms here as compared to my Alabama garden years ago.

If I plant lots of flowers in a separate area of the garden, will the bee activity go there instead of the tomato patch?

SpudLeaf, good luck to you. It will be very interesting to hear your results after changing your planting method.

So, if I follow the 3' apart by 5' rows, I should be fairly confident with my seed sharing?

Thanks for your help!
