    No need to remove flowers, they will not be bitter. I have grown them in the past and also outdoors. The ones grown outdoors have been larger plants than the ones I tried in the greenhouse.

    I'm growing these for the first time this year - about to plant out 3 plants in large pots as soon as we get another warm spell and train them up a trellis. Will this be ok? Do they need really big pots? Any other pointers? I was going to feed with organic tomato feed once fruits appear....should I nip out any side shoots or the growing tip at any stage?
