Nothing tastes quite like a tomato freshly picked from your own garden. Tomatoes are so versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be sliced to go into a sandwich or salad, chopped to be used in many Italian sauces such as a delicious bolognese or if they are a bigger variety, they can be stuffed and baked.
Sweet Aperitif is a British bred variety which produces super sweet., bite-sized fruit.
A high sugar content mixed with the right amount of acidity gives it a sweet and refreshing taste
Even if you have a window box you can produce your own tomatoes. But, they are not without their problems; tomato plants are very delicate and can easily succumb to disease, they need a fair amount of attention and just a whiff of hormone spray from a neighbouring garden or field can result in deformed fruits and plants - but they are still always worth the effort!
WHEN TO SOW January to April
WHERE TO SOW Sow seeds underglass 0.5cm (1/4 in) deep in pots or trays of good seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator at a temperature of 18–21°C .
WHAT TO DO NEXT Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into 9cm (3 1/2in) pots. Transplant to the greenhouse border soil, or individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can also be planted outdoors once all risk of frost has past. Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
HARVEST July to October
HANDY TIP Pick fruits as they ripen and water regularly but do not over water to help prevent the fruits from splitting.
NUTRITONAL VALUES High in Vitamin C and lycopene.
