Problem with shop-bought toms

They are not getting pollinated.  I think the recent cool weather may be to blame for this.  Hang on in there and I bet that when we have some real summer weather they will be fine.

Certianly not warm and dry over the past week!  It's only been 17-18C and since Saturday has chucked it down practically non-stop.

Fortunately today is back up to reasonable temps (i.e. over 20C) and by the weekend it's forecast for 30 whoo hoo!

Back to the point... Actually these toms have had problems with the flowers since I bought them.  They don't get a chance to be pollinated as they don't open before they fall off.  Even tapping the cane thy're attached to can cause some of the flower buds to fall
