And totally new to vegetable/fruit growing.  What a great site.  I have followed it and finally taken to registering.
As well as a Hi, I'm looking for help ... (lol  :?  thats a different story) on growing tumbling tomatoes in containers.

I'm trying 'Garden Pearl' bought from a garden centre and 2 others a friend bought on ebay.
The ones from the garden centre looking a bit sad.
Flowers withering and turning brown?  Do tomatoes get blight?

Hi and welcome -
Hope you have success with garden pearle - they are lovely tomatoes. Tomatoes are members of the potato family and do get blight.  Normally you don't need to worry about blights until July but this year is weird.

If it is a blight then I think you've lost it. Sorry-

In haste, train to catch

I'm growing tumblers in a basket.
I'm not sure how to save your existing tomatoes but if you need to buy more make sure you add some water crystals to the basket to help retain water and make sure the plants dont get too dry as the tomatoes really do need alot of water especially if they are in baskets.
