Another 'numpty' question ::) ;D
I've got bush tomatoes in the greenhouse that have got flowers on. I think that's normal?
But the others (mainly Ailsa Craig and other varieties I've forgotten what they are) have ALSO got flowers on and they're only about a foot tall.
Isn't it a bit early for them to be flowering? I thought they had to grow up to the ceiling before that sort of thing happened?
I've only been growing tomatoes for 4 yrs. Please humour me in my obvious ignorance! ;) Just can't remember this happening last year?
