Your tomatoes will form where the flower shoots form... you should get some flowers in a few weeks and then the tomatoes will begin to swell... you might be lucky and get some ready to pick in July and August...

I usually stop the plant when it has 4 or 5 trusses by breaking off the top shoot and you keep on rubbing out the side shoots all the time ... keep doing it or they will shoot off in all directions and you will have too many trusses of fruit.. 4 or 5 is ideal...
