Tomato Growing Thread 2021

Help ......... I bought 4 tiny tomato [sun yellow gold?] from Aldi months ago on a whim and they've grown to this now.
I wish I hadn't bought them as have never grown tomatoes before, have no room for them and absolutely no idea what I need to do with them!
I know I could search for info but have a few problems on the go. My car is leaking petrol all over the street, I'm surrounded by plants I've grown from seed that I can't plant out cos it's not time and it's raining anyway, and lots more that I shan't bore you with!
Thanks.
Oh ...I did buy some Tomorite when things were less hectic. Not used yet tho. What now ????? I'm stressed with this awful weather and everything I need to do .....including these tom plants. I can't let them die though!

 

Thanks for your response JWK. They'll have to stay in pots I'm thinking - in front of a brick wall that gets lots of sun [well when there is any that is!]. Sorry yes, the photo is a little dark but no, there aren't any flowers yet. From remembering my Grandad's greenhouse tomatoes though when I was a youngster I think they have what will turn into flowers ... about 16 little clusters of them. In fact I've just checked now a minute ago and one of the buds on a cluster is just starting to open into a yellow flower.

It's not tooo bad I guess the weather now [well it is but it's not cold really at least] and my space is pretty sheltered so thanks for that suggestion, I will move them outdoors during the day for now.

 

Oh how I hope so JWK re the weather..... well I'm guessing we're all hoping !!
Same here re managing to get a few bits outside now - I planted some out yesterday and felt a huge sense of relief!

 

Oh dear - not sounding too promising then!
I pinched out all the lower side shoots I think, the shoots starting to grow between the leaf stem and the main stem .... as I read somewhere that's what you're supposed to do

 

Sorry I got the name wrong
They're Sun Baby Yellow according to the label ........ so Cordon type I think ??

 

Thanks for the info John. Yes at least the fruits [if they actually happen] will be small.
I can't just lop off the tops now then to stop them growing any taller?
You seem to know a lot about tomatoes so would you be able to confirm when I should start to feed them please? Thank you.
Deborah

PS - Think I'm sticking to flowers, foliage and herbs in future !!

 

The only thing you have done wrong is start too early, which is why they are so tall, if you start later, say around now with one more plant about 6inches high ,and see how you get on.
I'm sure you will find it much easier than you think.

I'd even suggest you get rid of the ones you have now, sadly, as I think you will be disappointed in the outcome and put you off for future years.
