Tomatoes need warmth to grow. A greenhouse or even a warm conservatory is ideal as they need at least eight hours’ sunlight per day. Water them regularly, and daily if the weather is hot. Thin out the plant’s leaves to encourage tomato growth.
At the end of the season, bury your plant materials in a deep hole in your garden to return their nutrients to the soil. Just make sure this isn’t in the same place where you grow any vegetables.
Fill a small pot with seed compost, water it well, then sow three or four seeds on the surface. Make sure your tomato seeds are placed in direct sunlight in the warmest possible temperature.
Plant around three to four seeds about 3mm into moist soil. Cover lightly with more damp soil. For tomatoes to grow well, create a warm atmosphere when planting in trays indoors.
Wait until the last frost has cleared before moving your tomatoes outside. Find a sunny but sheltered spot, add well-rotted garden compost to your soil, and place two to three plants in each growing bag.
This hugely popular seed, the Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) will grow into medium-sized, heavy crop tomatoes that are thick and luscious.
Tomatoes take around six months to fully ripen for eating, so planting in the first four months of the year will provide juicy tomatoes ready for summer salads.
