Tomato question - feeding & numbers of trusses
Hi everyone, I've got such helpful advice on this site recently & I'm back for more. Like I said before I'm a complete novice! I have quite alot of tomato plants growing in my greenhouse this year, about eight '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 earlier now have about four trusses on them, any information I've read on feeding them suggest to begin when 'the first truss has set in' 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?

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. |
