First time tomato growing

I have 4 tomato plans that have just started to show 1 or 2 sets of flowers…. This is my first time growing tomatoes so not sure if they’re going well or whether I should take off some more of the foliage? This particular plant’s leaf stems are starting to twist a bit and not sure why? I have checked for pests and can’t find any evidence . I’m in Liverpool UK, we’ve had a lot of rain lately, checked the soil and has normal moisture. Any advice would be grateful

 

Looks good to me.
Don't remove leaves unless they're old and yellowing.
It's the leaves that provide all the energy for your plant - they're the engines of the plant world.
The more leaves, the more energy your plant has to grow and produce fruits.
Good luck

 

It looks healthy enough to me, the twisted leaves are normal and nothing to worry about.

I'd not remove any leaves at this point in the year, its something you might need to do progressively towards the end of the growing season.

 

I agree, it looks good and there's no need to remove leaves just now, only if/when they turn yellow or later in the season (September onwards for me) if they're shading the fruit. If they're a cordon/indeterminate variety you can nip out any side shoots that form.

 

Thanks all

I can relax a little better knowing they’re fine. We have also had a nice warm sunny day today after all the rain we have had the last couple of weeks. I gave them their first little Tomorite feed and also built up some cages around them to help take the weight of the heavy branches.

I’m growing 2 Gardeners Delight and the other 2 are Money Maker and Sunbaby.

 

They were free with Gardeners World Magazine. I was shocked that not many people had tried them before when asking, I will let you know!

 

I agree they're fine, but don't feed them. It's a common mistake many people make with tomatoes. They don't need fed until the first truss of fruits are setting. If the compost/soil mix they're in is poor, the odd small feed of something general is ok - seaweed for example, or nettle feed if you wanted to make that.
For poorer soil/compost when growing in pots, you can add a sprinkle of BF&Bone or a slow release granular food when planting into final pots, but that would be for next time if necessary.
Too much feeding can encourage lots of leafy growth rather than flowers/fruit, so it can be much better to treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen.
They get too comfortable otherwise, when you want them to feel slightly stressed and therefore get pushed into reproducing - ie flowering and fruiting

 

Should I be worried about the leaves on my Cherry Falls? Should I do anything about it?

 

Just in multi purpose compost & they had their first feed last weekend, very diluted Tomorite. Is there anything you would recommend?

 

Thanks JWC, I’ve managed to pick up some Envi Seafeed Xtra from the garden centre, will give them some this evening.


Feel silly asking all these questions, there is lots of information online but I find it very overwhelming.

When you want to get into gardening, there is so much to learn and get your head around
