My granddaughter brought home to me two beautiful big tomato plants from the supermarket - but I notice despite them looking very healthy tall and strong there are no flowers at all - can we do anything to encourage them to flower

Patience. They'll flower when ready.

They are a metre high - growing in the supermarket probably wasn’t optimum but they look very healthy so I shall be patient

when you see two little leaves growing between main stem and lateral pinch them out to encourage side growth

I'm a beginner too and my one and only plant is now about 3 feet tall and still growing - do I cut the top off as it has gone past the support frame and is still growing? I have 3 green tomatoes so far - one the size of a marble, and two pea sized ones. No more flowers yet though. It's a campari plant from mitre 10.

You can trim them. or not. Your preference. We only do once they turn into mad vines.

Next year you should use new soil, as the old soil will have tomato blight in it.
