Tomatoes are best planted in a moist, humus-rich soil. They are best planted in a sheltered position that receives full sun. Tomatoes are well suited to being planted in borders, containers, and baskets. They can also be grown in a greenhouse or in a growing bag.

Plant outside in early summer when all risk of frost has passed. Amend the soil with well-rotted compost before planting.
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser. This should then be changed to a fertiliser high in potash once the first fruits appear. Leave the tomatoes on the vine so they can ripen naturally. Prune off old leaves towards the end of the season.
It is possible to propagate Tomatoes by seed.
