Sowing

For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to April.

For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April.

 

Sow in a propagator on a windowsill or pots or trays in a greenhouse at 18-21ºC using a good quality compost. Cover seeds with 6mm compost (germination 7-14 days). Transplant seedlings singly into 7.5cm (3") pots. Grow on, finally planting into large pots, or direct into a greenhouse border 45cm (18") apart when the risk of frost has passed. Support with a cane and remove side shoots regularly. Feed regularly with tomato food.

More Info

Water tomato plants frequently, to keep the compost evenly moist. Feed tomatoes regularly with a high potash plant food once the first truss of fruit has formed.


Tie the main stems to their supports and remove any sideshoots that develop between the main stem and the leaf stems. Once the plant has produced 6 or 7 trusses, pinch out the top of the main stem. This process of "sideshooting" and "stopping" will increase the availability of light and air movement around the developing fruit, and focus the plants energy on producing a good crop of high quality tomatoes. Tomatoes can be harvested as they ripen from July to September.
