oh, just remembered didnt tell you about pinching out…hard to explain and in fact depends what sort of plant you have….some are bush tomatoes (often if they are cherry, but not always) but if NOT bush tomatoes then pinching out is necessary- look in the plants arm-pits- you know between the main stem and the branches…if you see little sprouts there, rub them out or pinch off. If you dont, they grow huge and your plant goes all out of control and doesnt fruit so well.
You have to be quite bossy to be a tomato grower…No! you WILL grow THIS way and NOT the way you want to, stupid little plant….
