Protect them from what, Jessica? All toms need is as much sunshine and warmth as they can get. Anything in the high teens or low 20s C during the day and teens C overnight is fine. And not too much water or fertiliser. The bottom line with toms is to keep it simple: let the plants do the work. It's in their genes to reproduce - which is to say, produce fruit.

The warmer weather is certainly improving the development of my tomato plant
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Got flowers on all greenhouse plants, but it's the outdoor ones that have tiny toms on. Got my eye on the largest that's mine to scoff.
can you put anything else other from a cloche to protect the toms??

My mum and I was gardening the other day and came across this flower or weed and she thought it was pretty, anybody know what it is?
Looks a bit like Beaked Hawksbeard but can't quite see the leaf pattern. One of our British wild flowers. (unless someone knows differently!)
Bit of an update for you, I have a few flowers on my tomato plants..
how many times a day would you water the plant in this heat?
thanks
I am watering twice a day at the moment.
My tomatoes are outside in big pots - I'm watering twice a week at the moment.
