  Dou you know what variety they are, Sam?  If they are a cordon type, you need to remove any sideshoots growing where a leaf meets the main stem - I can see one about half-way up the photo on the left.

  Other than that, as soon as you see the first tiny tomato forming, feed them once a fortnight with a liquid tomato feed (eg tomorite), diluted as per the instructions on the bottle.

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  Thank you for your response.  They are baby plum.

  That seems to be a cordon variety, so nip out those sideshoots.  According to what I've just read, they need a fairly sheltered position if grown outside so as you have planted it by the wall it should be ok.
