    this is my first post as a new member, i have been trying to grow vegetables this year, the only ones that have grown are tomatoes. i have them in pots and they are quite bushy, have been nipping the side shoots out but dont know quite what to do now, they have a few clusters but no flowers yet, but look healthy enough, should i be doing something else:cnfs:

    Welcome, wendy :gnthb:

    Do you know what variety of tomato you have?

    Some types don't need the side shoots taken out. Also, make sure you are not taking out the flower trusses as well. A good photo will help us identify if there is a problem. :thumb:
