All will come in time each plant will give fruit at different times , even one plant will be at different stages having fruit and having flowers .
Oh thankyou. One other question do they pollinate themselves . Just someone told me that I have to do it. Thankyou Garry
Yes, it usually happens without our help ... a little bit of a shake sometimes helps to dislodge the pollen inside the flower in so that lands on the right bit - if your tomatoes are outside the breeze will do this ... if yours are in a greenhouse it can help to just give the plants a gentle shake each day.
I grow my tomatoes outside ... I never do anything about pollination and I get good crops.

Thankyou so much. You've been a great help. Thankyou Garry.
