My tomatoes started well and fruit is the size normal to the type but after the first two trusses growth iis very spindly and the plant us obviously short of something the leaves are green but with a purplish veining I use comfrey feed which my outdoor tomatoes love and thrive on. The compost I used for my greenhouse tomatoes also caused me problems with some seed growing so I suspect a deficiency but I do not know what. Help me please, I need a lot of tomato es!! GC FAREHAM
A soil test can be done on your soil mix to determine what you may need to amend your soil with.
This could be a phosphorous deficiency.

It can be difficult to deal with tomato plants that outgrow their cages or stakes.

Why are our tomato plants all stem (long) and very little leaf. What are they lacking?
Tomatoes need loads of sun and heat; are they getting enough? Are they in the ground or outside in a container? They won't grow inside from what I've heard. Have leaves formed then fallen off or is something eating them, like a hornworm? Most tomatoes are ridiculously leafy so this has me mystified too.
Dear sir / madam I planted my tomatoes from seed at the end of May, following a five weeks holiday. All of them are between one and two feet in height, but there are no fruit trusses? How can I resolve this? kind regards Dave Roberts
Depending on the variety you are growing it can range from 50 to 100 days for your plants to bear fruit.
