Default Are these Tom flowers??

Hi

I went into the greenhouse today and didnt know whether to pinch these out or not!!! (as you can tell I am new to this!!) anyway, I am wondering if these are flowers on my Gardeners Delight & also some others (cant remember their name!!! - first thing I sowed and didnt keep packet!!)

If they are flowers, do i start feeding them now??

Thanks

They're definitely flowers - I'd feed 'em, but I'm new to this too.

Thanks Wayne

I will start feeding, i have been pinching out the little side shoots for weeks, i am so so so thrilled, this is my first few months of ever growing anything and to be honest every single thing is blooming, even my sweetcorn, my grandad blessed me i think, he could grow anything.

Mind you, you are good at growing mushrooms in piles of pooh, so you must be clever too. When you updating your blog next, i want to see how the plants are doing, i am doing mine now, so you can have a sneek! We should have a veg swop - if i can ever find those bloody seeds!!!!!!!!!!

ps I cant work out how to make the pics smaller from Photobucket, do you have any tips please!

If you don't want to post the picture on here just post the link (click "direct link" under the photo in Photobucket, and then just right-click and paste in the body (the text bit) of your message. Then when the viewer clicks the link they'll just open up a Photobucket page on their browser and will view the photos.

Bit like this:

Well done SquashySue. That looks like tom flowers to me. The toms will be along soon. As soon as you see the tiniest one start feeding with tom food. Enjoy !
