Tomato Plants need lots of sunlight, warm draft free conditions and lots of water. It is also a good idea to tie the tomato stem to a stout cane and, if you are growing normal tomatoes, you should pinch out side shoots so that the air can circulate round the plant's base - (bush tomatoes should not have their side shoots removed). They should be fed with tomato food (made up as instructed on the container) one a week after the first truss of tomatoes has set.
To make sure that you get the tomatoes setting, either spray the flowers with a fine mist once a day, or gently tap the plant stem/cane-support to shake the pollen in the flowers.
When the plants are about 6ft high you should pinch out the tops.
In very strong hot sun the plants may need light shading in the hottest part of the day. Note, it is very important not to let the plants dry out and wilt, while this may not kill the plant, it will damage the growing tomatoes - they will split. If you find the flower ends go black (blossom end rot) then (it is too late for this year) you need to put powdered garden lime into the growing medium.
