    It’s early yet. … patience is what you need. Which variety are they … some are earlier than others.

    Have they grown trusses?

    How tall are they?

    Thank you for the questions 

    they are Gardeners Delight 

    Over a foot high 

    think the flowers come before the trusses ?

    They need to go in bigger pots. They are probably pot bound and would appear to be short of nutrients.  Use 10 inch pots with good compost and bury them up to the first true leaves. Then feed them once a week .

    I did plant the ones in the gro bags and up to the bottom leaves

    The trusses form and the flowers appear on the trusses … the flowers are fertilised and then the tomatoes form behind the dying flowers. 

    The plants in pots look hungry … they’re a pale colour. They need potting on into bigger pots with fresh compost.

    Trusses develope, flowers form, fruit sets and flowers shrivel and drop off.

    Or something like that.



    Yours look like they will be forming trusses very soon, so follow the advice given and keep an eye on them.
