DeeGee Jun 2011 8:24am, 13 Jun 2011 9,367 posts	0 DeeGee It does have fruit on it now. Now 5 out of a potential 20 tomatoes. Am I too late?
bigleggy Jun 2011 1:06pm, 13 Jun 2011 3,114 posts	0 bigleggy Well, it's deffo more of a gamble with fruit. If the plant does sulk then you may lose the existing fruit but the rest should be OK...... But as it's got fruit on it, I'd do all I suggested earlier but ignore the bit about watering sparingly. It'll need plenty of water for the fruit. Cross yer fingers and roll ya dice Good luck One question though - how did the flowers pollinate indoors ?

DeeGee Jun 2011 9:47pm, 13 Jun 2011 9,382 posts	0 DeeGee Kitchen window is regularly open. And it was sitting on the kitchen window. Hence the pollination was possible, I assume. Another quick couple. I've got some rocket which has grown long and flowery. Is it still good to eat? What should I do with the flowers? Will they become seed-heads? And if so, can I just plant them?

Sharkie Jun 2011 2:27pm, 14 Jun 2011 1,002 posts	0 Sharkie Eat the rocket DeeGee. I reckon it's a bit more peppery as the year goes on - and therefore even better for adding bite to yer salads. I just let it carry on growing and mine overwintered and is even more plentiful this year.
