How to Sow
- Sow in small pots indoors in warm, moist conditions
- Transfer to 9 inch pots when the first two sets of try leaves appear
- When potting on, you can bury most of the stem in the soil (the hairs will form roots!)
Plant Care
- When the flowers appear, transfer again to larger pots for indoor growing, or plant directly to soil outside
- Water regularly to make sure the soil is kept evenly moist
- Feed with organic fertiliser every 14 days if possible
- Use organic tomato feed once fruit start to appear
- Pinch off any side shoots that appear at the joints of the main shoots to ensure the plant's energy is not diverted from producing fruit
AllotMe’s Tips
- Tomato plants do really well when grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel, but remeber to open the doors or vents to allow pollinators in!
- There are 2 different types of tomato plants: Determinate (bush) and Indeterminate (vines): the latter will need to be staked to provide support
- Tomato blight can be a killer for your crop, so make sure to remove any affected by it, and bury the damaged materials away from your plants (also clean any stakes or supports nearby)
