Separate your tomatoes into one pot each, stake each one and give half strength feed at every watering as soon as the first flower has set. Fruitcake i am a judge at one of the local shows this year and Bristol in Bloom keeps me very busy.
Marion, was it your birthday?, if so Happy belated Birthday and may all your wishes come true , thanks for the advice on the tomato plants, i will do that today, thanks fruitcake too
No. just tap the trusses of flowers every morning with your fingers so that they are all pollinated , keep well watered (water regularly. i do mine every morning at present) and half strength tomato feed when you see your first tomato which will be about Aug. 4th by the look of your plants. I will do some detailed photograph of the cake to let you see what a stunner it is. It is a very rich fruit cake inside so no hurry to eat it!
Thanks so much Marion for your info, looking forward to seeing your pictures, it's making me hungry thinking of your cake mmmmm , off to the garden centre now, I'll keep you posted

What a wonderful cake and presents too. I'm guessing it's your birthday so many happy returns. Glad you have had a nice day
Hi Marion, sorry to keep asking, when I've put the tomatoes in separate pots with stakes do I need to cover them with net or anything?
