    They do really well, as long as you keep them watered, otherwise they do nothing. (apart from die)
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    By trusses do you mean three lots of flowering branches?

    Yes, normally remove tip of plant one leaf beyond the last truss

    This is for outside, as in "normal" UK summer any further trusses just will not swell & ripen in our climate

    However in greenhouses they can go on & on, up over the roof if you want

    I ignore the 3 truss rule, and hope for good warm weather [in Hampshire] to get a few more toms, does not always work, in fact not for last few years
