Growing tomatoes is easier than you might think, and can be done in a variety of spaces, including on a balcony, indoors near a window or outside in pots. Versatile, cost-effective and delicious, there are loads of reasons you should give growing your own a go.
The Tomato Growers Handbook covers everything you need to grow your own and enjoy your plants year on year, no matter what space youre working with, including:
- Preparing the soil - Sowing seeds - Transplanting young plants - Watering and feeding - Pruning and propagating - Tips and tricks to boost your harvest - Troubleshooting advice for when things dont go to plan
There is also information on different varieties to try, as well as simple recipes and ideas for preserving a glut, such as homemade passata, green tomato jam, a tomato salad that promises to maximise flavour and even a whole tomato pasta that makes use of the fruit, leaves and stems.
