How To Grow Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a gardener's dream. There really is nothing quite like the taste of a home-grown organic fresh tomato. There are hundreds of different varieties of tomato which fall into roughly four different types:
- Regular everyday tomato
- Cherry tomatoes
- Plum tomatoes
- Beefsteak tomatoes
You can grow most tomatoes in containers if garden space is limited, and you can also plant them in random places round the garden. There is a good reason for this!
*Suggested varieties - images and descriptions of a few regular garden varieties
*Planting and general care tips - looking after your tomatoes
*Harvesting and storing options - time to harvest and how to store your tomatoes
*A few delicious recipe ideas - simple recipes to make the most of your crops
*General gardening advice - best practices for your gardening experience.
Happy Gardening!

How to Grow Tomatoes - Linda Gray
PREPARATION
There are four main types of tomatoes:
-Regular everyday family tomato: these can be used in everyday meals; salads, cheese on toast, sandwiches and sliced to garnish any meal.
-Cherry tomatoes: small sweet and a favourite with the kids!
-Plum tomatoes: Often bought in cans, growing them at home is fun.
-Beefsteak tomatoes: As they sound, these tomatoes grow big and beefy! They do take a little longer to develop and ripen.
Within these four types, there are hundreds of variations. I grew some tiny yellow plum tomatoes for a couple of years and the children devoured them as soon as they were ripe!
There are so many varieties of tomatoes to choose from. It's nice to grow more than one type if you have the space. These were available at Thompson & Morgan at the time of writing. I think they only do UK deliveries at the moment.

Finally! A mini plum tomato to rival the sweetness of traditional cherry varieties! Tomato Carpriccio F1 produces
