Title: tomatoes
Post by: newbiegrower on May 31, 2007, 09:32

my hubby found a tomato plant where he works it is about 4in tall with quite a few leaves
 firstly I was wondering if you can tell whether it is a bush variety or the taller sort from just the way it looks as there isnt anything to tell me what sort it is.
Secondly could you please tell me how to look after it as I am new to growing tomatoes.

I don't personally think you can tell which sort, some one else may know?

You could treat it as a vine type and take out the side shoots don't think it will do much harm.

Where are you growing it ? in a pot or not, don't feed it till you see the first flowers are about to open, then feed with a tomato feed, keep it well watered, and supported that's about the basics.
