I planted my tomatoes a Little deeper than shown in my video, growing tomatoes part 3 this Saturday, following advice from this page. So here's hoping! If you havent seen my video, here is the linkage:
Money maker is a good variety,last year I had loads of fruit from three plants in my modest garden.It is south facing so very warm and light during the day, shade from the fence in early evening.plants do well
Good video, Simon. My tomatoes are starting to take over our house but, with a cold snap forecast, I'm probably going to hold off on putting them into my coldframe for another week. I'm then hoping after another week or so in there, i can put them into their final pots / positions.
It means mine will stay in their 3" pots for a while longer (coldframe is small!) but great if that means earlier fruit...
Have a look at my growing tomatoes videos for some useful hints and tips. Hopefully your tomatoes are at about the stages shown in part 3 or part 4 of my videos:
My tomatoes are doing really well so far this year, they already have 3 trusses of flowers showing with flowers open on trusses 1 & 2. They are at perhaps the stage shown or just a bit further on than shown in my part 4 of growing tomatoes videos. Here is the link:
Hi Simon I am growing tomatoes and cucumbers from seeds first time I loved your videos on tomatoes really interesting and useful do u have any on cucumbers I have learnt some ideas from the tomatoe videos but would like more in depth if possible also some of my tomatoes the leaves have started to curl any advise please
baza - I'm not Simon, but are they planted out or still waiting to be planted out? If planted out, flowers are fine. Flowers can arrive early. If they're not yet planted out, take off the flowers to let the plant devote all its energy into development. More flowers will come along.

Great videos Simon! Love the bird song in the background of the outdoors ones.
Thanks blue onion! Been as you enjoyed the
ose videos, take a look / listen to the bird song on my latest video about growing onions, that I recorded late last evening. Here is the link.
