Tomatoes are often grown by those who make no other attempt to grow anything else that can be eaten, sometimes the product of our labours can start a lifelong interest in producing food we can eat.
My early attempts at growing tomatoes were bad enough to ensure I did not try again for quite a few years. I did not understand the importance of satisfying the needs of the plant I thought I could just water them when they were moments from death and be rewarded for my trouble, how wrong I was!!
Tomatoes are not the easiest crop to grow, but they are worth the effort, the taste of a fresh tomato cannot be matched by anything that your local supermarket can supply no matter what fancy label they give them...vine ripened...sold on the stem, the taste is still not in the same league as a tomato picked fresh from the plant. Indeed I find it difficult not to eat as many as I pick when I am in the greenhouse!
Having studies horticulture with the RHS I am now in a position to understand what I was doing wrong and I can help you learn from my mistakes and share with you hints and tips I have learnt along the way.
