Tomatoes
 

I am trying to grow sweet million tomatoes this year.

I have never seen them before and do not know how to treat them.

Do I take out the sideshoots or let the tomatoes bush the same as tumbler.

Will they grow outside or are they better in a greenhouse

I grew sweet million f1 last year, i hope your prepared for thousands
of juicy sweet cherry toms :-)
Make sure you have substantial stakes or canes to tie them to as they
get hundreds of toms on each plant, i ended up tieing several
horizontal ropes from one end of my polly tunnel to the other as the
canes (and the plants themselves) couldn't cope with all the weight
:-)

And yes you pinch out the side shoots, and when they are a few feet
high take off the bottom couple of leave stems as well. Also i sink an
empty 6" plant pot next to each plant and fill each one with water
everyday. I also give the flowers a fine water mist now and again to
encourage fruit production.
