        • The two Gardeners Delight plants have one small tomato each the size of a broadbean. No other fruit yet. Should I still use nitrogen rich feed or switch to tomorite?

          No fruit yet from Moneymaker or Garden Pearl but they're flowering.

            Sorry the photo is a bit dark - they are on the spare room windowsill and it is very bright outside.

            This is Shirley sown 13th Jan on the sitting room windowsill:

              You can stop using the nitrogen feed now,switch to tomorite or a high potassium feed for flowers & fruit,not long now!

                    He my not look great with his curly leaves, but he's very well behaved. No forking, very few side shoots and produces fruit like there's no tomorrow
