Care Tips

There are many variations of tomatoes ranging from plum and cherry to beefsteak and striped! Many will need to be grown in a greenhouse or pollytunnel to make sure they germinate and ripen. Tomatoes will need to be regularly fed and watered with special tomato fertiliser. This should be started as soon as you see fruits on the plant. Plant them into full sun and rich soil that has been well composted or manured.
