Start feeding with potash liquid food only once the fruits actually begin to appear. Some way off yet. Improve fruiting by cross-pollinating the flowers, either by gently shaking the bushes now and again, or using something like a small soft paintbrush. There's a "Tomatoes" page on here. Reminds me, I haven't even bought my seeds yet. :-))

Thanks David...this is my first adventure into growing Tomato plants from seed..

my experience has always been to buy a plant hardy and ready to go....then we always, dig a deep hole...put in rotted cow manure or some from a a bag of what is known as farm land which is a combo of pig, chicken, horse and cow manure, dug in well of course...then cover that with garden dirt so the roots don't get to it until it is a bit older, put the plant on top of that and off it goes...produces tons of tomato's if you are in the south of Washington State and if it is in a greenhouse here, it does super...but seedlings are new to me...lol..

I have been sorting out how to pollinate, thanks for that info too! and for the tomato page reminder.. :o)

Thanks Toto..it is so tiny..I am still a bit concerned that it is not thriving at all!..
