My Grandbdaughter likes to follow me down to the greenhouse and pick the
tomatoes of the vine and eat them there and then (no chemicals used).
I grow Sungold bite size...very sweet they are. She keeps asking me "are the
tomatoes ready yet Grandad?".

One or two of mine are setting, the petals having fallen away.
I have been brushing them daily with cotton wool because they are
indoors.

Oh yum, I don't use any chemicals on my tomatoes either. Tomorrow I
am digging a big hole for melons and Aubergines and then I will put
the swing thingy, I covered with plastic, to act as their
greenhouse.

LOL For tonight's supper I used up stuff in the fridge, I made balls
out of sausage meat, friend them in olive oil, set them aside. Then I
went into my garden and picked Oregano, Sage, Thyme, Bay, a hint of
mint, chives, anise, an onion from last year, garlic. I made a sauce
with red wine, my fresh herbs, dried tomato, reduced the lot down and
added the balls for 1 hour. BUTTTTTTTTTT, I forgot, I didn't have any
pasta, I didn't have anything in the garden to make do, so it was off
to the scullery shelves for????? Stop laughing, I used cous cous. It
was delicious But............ I didn't have any Parmesan either. Note
to self, grow cheese, grow pasta :-)

We grow Tumblers in hanging baskets and I should protect them with mini
electric fences!

Not laughing at all.
Nifty bit of improvising on the cereal stage! Sounds delicious. Well
done.

Feed any time after the flowers start to form AND the plants are in
their final position. There are secondary and tertiary hormonal
effects in the plant caused by the change in nutrients - planting in
the final position (with greater root space and nutrient capacity) and
at the right stage of development kind of keeps things in balance
throughout the stages.

Potatoes which are the same genus prefer a general feed before
flowering and potash/nitrogen after. There is a great deal of debate
about this aamongst commercial growers who all get very similar yields
(!). But the trick is to encourage the roots and tubers rather than
the small fruits - the opposite with toms.

In my experience, feeding before planting out tends to delay fruit
production a little by stimulating extra leaf growth when the roots
are starting to struggle for space - but never enough to be material
unless you are a commercial grower.

Tomatoes are tough, resilient plants for all the pampering they get
from us enthusiasts and the basic rule is feed with a bespoke tomato
feed at planting out time after the flowers start to form. As
mentioned by another poster, you can't do better than tomorite.
