i have two tomato plants growing like a pair of trifids lol,
no fruit just massive plants and a few yellow fowers.they are in large pots in my verhanda ,should i feed them special fertiliser ?

You should give them tomato feed. You can buy it from any garden centre, and I think Robert Dyas in the high street will sell it too.

Also you need to pollinate the flowers if you want lots of fruit. Just use the corner end of a tissue and dab around the stigma, using the same bit of the tissue for each flower.

Also, pinch out the tops, and any sideshoots, this allows the strength to go to the flowers, and you may get more.
