Growing Tips:p

Depending on weather conditions and when the seeds were sown, your tomatoes will begin to form from midsummer.

Water the soil regularly, avoiding splashing leaves and stems which hate to be wet.

You can encourage more abundant tomatoes by providing a weekly dose of liquid seaweed feed.

As the stems grow tall and fruits become heavy it’s wise to provide some sturdy support to prevent the plants bending and snapping in summer breezes.

When the tomatoes have reached full size but are still green you can pick the leaves from the plant to make sure they’re able to bask in the sun and develop delicious sun-ripened flavour.
