Flowers are one thing and fruit is another. I also have plenty of flowers, but Toms need between 21-25 degs for fruit to grow well and ripen and with a temp today of only 14 in ChCh its going to take a while.

If there are no bees around take a childs paintbrush, and brush the stamens of the flowers. There is a shortage of bees in many areas.

We have little tomatoes on our plants but they are in a glasshouse.However we don't get any bees in there so I don't know how they get pollinated.

I saw a bit of colour on my first one in the hothouse today. My outdoor money makers are not yet flowering.

Well i will get out the paintbrush soon. Blaody hel.i planted them so early too. First timer apart from cherries given to me.and they are shading all my other veges too much i suspect.All squashed in together lol. You live and learn.
Use youtube, it is great.It is one thing reading about plants, and quite another to watch.
