If you have tiny tomatoes starting now, it sounds like everything is fine. It's a funny thing that I have always noticed with tomatoes fruiting - the leaves get more and more lush, and just as you are getting impatient and wondering why there are no flowers or fruit yet, it all starts to happen, like someone threw a switch.

I made my no-dig gardens out of a base of newspaper, several layers of straw, manure, lime, and a top thick layer of my compost, which was made from a mixture of vege peelings and lawn clippings. All my vegetables love it! The only other thing I might add is extra layers of compost as it settles, and a seaweed-based fertilizer for the potassium which will help with flowering and fruiting.

It's a good idea as the plants get bigger to build up the soil around the stems so they are buried deeper - they will send out extra roots on the stem which makes them stronger and more vigorous. Just take off the bottom row of leaves. Keep the plants well mulched too.

The funniest sight I have these days (in the middle of winter, I might add) is to see little tomato plants that have self-seeded in the compost heap. I had butternut pumpkin plants spring up that way last year in spring. I planted them out and had a wonderful crop of butternut pumpkins as a result. It's interesting to see what sometimes comes out of the vege peelings!
