Tumbler Tomatoes

LadyDee

Hi, I would appreciate advice on growing these hanging basket tomatoes please.

Should I pinch out the shoots at the junction of the main stem/branches, like the standard tomatoes, or just leave them?



TIA

Just leave them

Thank you Farway.

To get a good crop you'll need to water very regularly - twice a day for mine last year (hence not doing them this year...). A good dose of fertiliser every third day also helps no end. To pick them, if the basket is high up, detach from the hook, and stand the basket on a suitable-sized flowerpot.

Thanks for that! I got a basket of them over the weekend, and it seems I've been watering them constantly! Good to know about the fertiliser, I've been erring on the side of caution with it.
