M Nash, try giving your sour tomato plants some Epsom Salts, that should sweeten them up :-)

I agree Brendan (!!) and also some potash maybe? Pete Cundall recommends it for giving your tom's good flavour...

Have to agree Amanda, tomatoes like both sulphate of potash and a bit of superphosphate. That's what I used on mine to win first prize at the Mackay Regional Show last year :-)
