  We bought a well established tumbler tomato plant from our local g/s, (same as last year, which was a great success) about 2 weeks ago & transplanted it straight into a hanging basket. We have been putting it in the greenhouse overnight & hung outside durring the day. It has been in flower now for about a week, is it ok to start feeding it & leaving it outside. We live in South Yorkshire.
  Keith. ( Happy Easter )

  It's too early to leave it outside yet, wait untill middle of May when hopefully there will be no more frosts. Start to feed when the first truse has set.

  This sort of links to a message I posted last week. I have never grown tumbling tom before this is my first year. Decided I needed more room for other things in the greenhouse and the patio gets crowded this seemed a good room saver
  As you say you grew last year did you only grow 1 plant? 1 to a basket? I have grown them from seed and plants are about ready to go into hanging baskets which I can stand in greenhouse for now happily until ready to go out. Did you get lots of toms from 1 plant last year? I have grown a few plants as friends I have told about this variety have asked for them and as they arent gardeners I am hoping this will encourage them and their children. I myself am planning on having 2 baskets of them just enough for me and hubby as my kids dont like toms.

  Tomatoes are self-pollinating, they don't need insects to help out. Giving the flowers a light flick with your finger can help the self-pollination process, though.
