I have two tomato plants growing next to each other in individual pots.
They are against a south facing wall so receive plenty of sun when it isn't
raining. They are cropping quite well but I have just realised something
odd. All the tomatoes are growing on the inside of the two plants, where
the leaves and stalks criss cross. On the outside of the plants there are
plenty of leaves but no fruits. As a point of interest what would happen if
I turned both pots 180 degrees so the fruits were on the outside and the
barren side of the plants were on the inside. Can anyone suggest why the
plants have fruited in this way, just on one side of the plant.

I'm growing a 'tumbling' variety, and all the tomatoes are underneath,
thus giving the leaves the maximum exposure to the light.


I am trying only one of those this year - a plum tomato - and it is
doing well. I wish I had grown more and left the other varieties. Too
late now

Shame :-(

I think, no urge, you to commit suicide over it.

Why not? It's not as if you'd be missed by anyone and I've heard B&Q
have an offer on ropes on!

Go on.
