    I have never been interested in gardening I think I was put off it as a child we had a large and very over grown garden which was a jungle when we moved in it took many years to clear it.
    So I was really suprised this year when my wife bought a greenhouse flat pack ofcourse. I realy enjoyed building it and couldnt wait to get some thing growing inside. I bought some tomatoe plants a corgett and a pepper plant and three grow bags. These seem to be going well so far none have died and all are bigger than they were when I planted them but other than water them I have no idea what to do.
    So any we tips greatfuly received .

    A quick glance at the above site and I realised all my tomatoe growth was in the side shoot catergory so I pruned them. I am worried that I may have inavertently removed the top shoot off some off them will this ruin my chances of getting a crop off those plants . I am thinking of buying another couple of plants as back up.

    Whoops! bit early for tomato pinching out, usually wait till its a bit more established & in flower. See what happens with them Kaptainzep, you may get fewer larger fruit. But go for it! (maybe safe to get some back ups though!)
