So this is my first year ever growin tomatoes so I'm a bit of a newbie, the plants shown here area cherry variety called 'Red Robin' and I sowed in Early March (here or there, forgot to note exact date)
Anyway they are growing steadily, they were originally inseed trays and i pricked them out, the stronger ones into the pots and the weaker/smaller ones about 3/4/5 into a larger shrub container but since then they have all grown on really well. I think they all look healthy? do their leaves look a bit droopy to you? and alo its only the camera that gives them a yellow tinge, they are all nice and green!
so my firsy question as they are a cherry/busy varity do I need to remove/pinch out any sideshoots.. I have a feeling i should have already done so, not sure which ones?
Would it be any harm to give them a bit of feeding now at ths stage, they are in one of those argos type greenhouses in my conservatory and are only in a multi-purpose compost which only gives "food" for about 6 weeks..... with regards to watering.. I read on this something about only letting them sit in water and ot watering directly?
The younger and slightly leggier seedlings are 'beefsteak' and are about a month old, im potting them on today/tomorrow and going to bury the stems a good distance into the compost.. any advice on feeding/removing stems for these ones?
and while I'm at it I have good, young cucmber plants when to start feeding these guys, they are about 4 weeks,maybe less and have 2 very large true leaves?
Thank you in advance!

on the packet is just says tomato with 'beefsteak' in italics which ususally indicates variety i would have though, they are by suffolk herb which is the brand/company i am using this year for all my seeds and I am having great results so far!
so heres shoping I have a crop of cherry/regulatr & beefsteaks
