1. Yes.

2. Yes, a hermie can pollinate a female. It can also pollinate itself. Pollination is what creates seeds.

You can harvest after a frost just dont let em freeze, yes a hermie can pollinate any plants near it the good part is 99% of seeds it produces will be female.

Lots of annuals don't drop dead just because it frosts at 32*F . . . I think it needs to be 32*F for quite a few hours to do it's worst damage . . . a hard frost kills them. I think that's a little while, like 15-30 mins at 29*F, especially with any breeze.

i dont understand the 29#F part!!

im in uk, and were getting like 6 degrees weather atm, the plants are fine but its wen it hits the - degree weather im worried about!!

and are u saying that a hermie pollinating another plant will create 99% fem seeds??

cuz i thought a hermie created 99% male seeds??

Basically, it takes a while at 0*C for damage to occur, whereas the equivalent C* of 29*F it takes only a few minutes.
Yes, hermie seeds are overwhelmingly female.
