This will get you going but the best is to visit a garden an look about. Take Pen & Paper & camera. Spring summer fall and winter are issues too.

There a few different varieties that bloom at different times too.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, you've been very helpful
Yes - you will certainly get fruit this year. Get them into growbags o the ground as soon as possible, feed weekly, and you will be inundate with tomatoes. With 20 plants you will probably be begging people t take them
With 20 plants, there won't be a neighbor left that will speak by the end of the season!! :-)
Learn to can the tomatoes, keep them for yourself. Homemade spaghetti sauce and tomato juice, yum yum. 20 plants is just about right.

That's great guys, thanks. You're right I'll probably be giving tomatoe
to every neighbour in a ten mile radius. Actually judging by the usua rate of tomato consumption at our house that might not be necessary
