What are all your tomato plants doing?

[DaisyMOO]

This is my first year of growing tomatoes after being given a greenhouse by some friends (ahem, 3 years ago and it's taken us that long to put it up ) I'm sooo stupidly excited about the thought of having fresh tomatoes every day, dh PHSL at how I run to look at them every morning. I don't really know what they're supposed to be doing at the moment and how long it will be until we get our first lot. One plant is flowering and has five more tiny sets of flowers growing. How much longer will I have to wait? What are everyone else's doing?

I'm growing 2 tomato plants on our kitchen windowsill. They are enormous - at least 5 foot and have taken over the whole window! Lots of flowers on the top 2 feet or so.

Some of the leaves have gone a bit curly and there's the odd yellow spot - am worried that I've overwatered/fed them so I'm being more careful and hoping they'll recover. Would be gutted if I'd mucked it up again..

I also have a chili plant and a pepper plant which are much smaller and almost didn't make it due to my neglect, but after advice on here I have repotted them and been scrupulous at wiping the leaves to remove a horrid greenfly infestation and they're coming back. The chili had most of its leaves eaten by the greenfly but it's got lots of new ones now and the pepper has flowers and a mini-pepper!!!!!

I'm as excited as a five year old at the thought of eating stuff we've grown

Planting mine out in the greenhouse beds today. they are still quite small, no more than a foot, but the sungold are flowering. I can't wait.

Shonaspurtle, don't worry too much about the bottom leaves going a bit poorly - the plant is just concentrating on growing fruit and leaves at the top.

I still get SOOOOO excited about eating my own tomatoes

I grew some last year but didn't properly train them or nip out the sideshoots so i ended up with a tomato thicket. So I'd recommend training them early and nipping out the sideshoots when you go and look at them.

My mum gave them to me and thought I knew how to do that without being told - was quite annoying.

happy Eating!

Falling over in the wind and rain

Blimey, I have a ludicrous number of tomate plants (something like about 35!) and they are all about 6 inches high at best. Wonder what I am doing wrong. I was successful last year.

DS and me are growing some tumbling cherry tomatoes in the back garden. The plants are very wee but my green fingered neighbour says they are looking fantastic (if wet atm)

Looked at them this morning, they have got their 2nd set of leaves and...there are 3 pea plants in there too!
