Hi Harry,
It's good to hear from a budding gardener. You will need to feed your plants with tomato food, probably every two weeks or so. Pinch out side shoots that appear at the point were the leaves grow out of the main stem. That will keep your plants from getting to leggy. If they are climbing toms then you will need to put a bamboo cane next to the plant and gently tie the stem to it to give some support, if you have bushy type toms you won't need to do this.
I'm not sure using manure will help much now, if it's not rotted enough, it can burn the plants, but when your toms have finished growing in the autumn, dig it in to the soil for next years plants.
Happy gardening.
