Tomatoes

My tomatoes are now in big pots and I put them outside by day and inside by night to try and get a crop this year, I never get red ones...so whats next - where do they need plucking and do I need to do anything with the flowers?  thanks

I think they were tumbling ones I got them from Pete in the hills.

yeah, just leave them alone to grow.  It'd be a good idea to give them some fertiliser.  You can get specific tomato fertiliser and it'd be fine for most of your plants.

The flowers set better if the air is moist so try misting it each day.  If they are outside there should be insects to pollenate the flowers but if you want to help you can take a soft brush and dust all the flowers to move the pollen around.
