Hi, this is my first year growing tomatoes.  I'm growing 4 different types.  My question is.....can they be left in the glasshouse?  How do they get pollinated........to make the fruit?  Thanks, from an absolute beginner in tomato growing.

    Yes, they can live their whole life under glass.  Tomatoes are self-pollinating, but the flowers pollinate themselves better if you give the stem a gentle shake as you pass by.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
