I love tomatoes and although I grow them every year from seed, I have not had a glut, which I desire. I grow all colours and forms, could you please tell me all your hints and tips thank you, Lemondog.

Some varieties will obviously produce more than other but a couple of general tips-
Gently tap the stems of the plant and mist them with a spray bottle.
Seems to produce more for me.
Conversely some gardeners do not feed tomatoes believing that though the yield is lower the toms have greater flavour.
Personally I do feed them-both tomorite and home made seaweed/nettle drink.
