| Hi everyone, I've got such helpful advice on this site recently & I'm

| 'hundreds and thousands' a small cherry variety, I've also got about
| six plants which produce large tomatoes, I can't remember the
| varieties off hand. Any way, the two largest plants which I started

| which I had taken to mean when fruit begins to emerge from the flowers,
| I'm now starting to think I should have been feeding them earlier? I
| also read that four trusses is really enough for any plant & that the
| energy should now be expended into producing fruit. Is this true,
| should I prevent any further trusses forming, if so how?

I usually start feeding when they are in flower. I also stop at 6 trusses
rather than 4. As for the hundreds and thousands don't do anything, just
leave them to do their own thing, they are micro tomatoes and grown in
hanging baskets.
