I'm not sure if my sweet 100 is ok or not. It seems to be a little droopy. I've never grown this type of tomato before so thought I'd check with the experts! It has only been in that container for a couple weeks now, and it has definately grown, just seems to be a bit slower than my other tomato plants. We've had a lot of up and down weather with rain and wind too, so I'm sure that hasen't helped.

Thank you vintagejuls. I only had 3 cages so put them around 3 of my tomato plants. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the others. Either go out and buy a bunch more cages, or figure out a home made cage, or use stakes. I really don't know what to do for them. Do you think cages are the best option? I've made up some cute tp things for my peas to climb and thought I could figure something out for the tomatoes too? What do you think?

I would guess its overwatering. Make sure you have drainage in the bottom of that container so the soil can dry out. Plants usually droop like that either from overwatering or underwatering. Maybe could be the heat too? I don't kno how hot it is there but after 90 degrees my plants like to droop abit too.
Heres my sweet 100 plant

Thanks for the reply. Seems like my plant was quite a lot droopier than yours. Your plant looks lovely. But.... my plant was murdered , so I guess it doesn't really matter now anyway. Someone managed to snap the stem in half. I replanted the top, but it didn't make it. All of my other tomato plants are growing like mad though so I'll get over it! I was less than pleased when I found my poor plant though.
