Hi friends1 have just bought two tomato plants from B &Q they are about 20" high with flowers and quite a few tomatoes on. Bit droopy though and I wondered if they just needed tLC (lots a watering) or whether to repot...

Agree with Derek and suggest these tomato plants are going to need a lot of tlc!

Unless its really warm I,d keep them in the greenhouse the'll do much better
If they are cordons the'll need staking and them or bush variety will need tomato feed as soon as the first truss sets

Previous question
« hi there wondered if you could tell me what this shrub is please?
If they,re in a smallish pot, say about 8", then if you,re not putting them in the ground, either in a greenhouse border, or outside, then I would say repot into a pot about 12" wide and 15-18" deep, they probably haven,t been repotted very much, and they are heavy feeders, so the compost will probably have run out of nutrients.
