Like you do for pumpkins... bag the flowers and use a Qtip and/or a tweezers....

Oh, and you can pinch off other blooms in the cluster. Remember the megabloom is the prize if you're going for size :)

Controled pollenation of tomatoes is a little more difficult than pollenating Giant Pumpkins.

Bag them and shake them...they will be selfed...now a tomato cross requires surgery and removal of the male..a lot of difiiculty.
