Growing Tomato

View the Tomato page

18 Jan 10 Lyndall (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I have planted roma tomatoes, they started to flower at about 40cm high and are now about 1m tall but each time they flower the flower soon dies and drops off and no fruit?? Im wondering what is doing this?? I also now need to know is there a tomato plant that grows no taller than 1m because i have them in a built up vege patch which is completley caged in thanx to the possum problem I have!! So my tomato plants have now hit the top of the cage with no where to go and no fruit, which is really frustrating! Do i cut them right back or start again with a completley different type?? Hope to get some help soon Lyndall
