TOMATO TIME IS HERE!
For those of you lucky enough to own a greenhouse or conservatory, now is the time to buy tomato plants, ensuring an early crop!
We offer the following carefully-produced, strong and healthy plants, all priced at £1.95, or any 4 for £5.95. You can collect, or we deliver free in Wadebridge, cash on delivery.
• Moneymaker - the favourite of gardeners everywhere, a good crop of medium-sized fruits, with a great flavour.
• Gardener’s Delight - another favourite, easy to grow, giving great-tasting fruit, the size of a large cherry tomato.
• Pomodoro Ace - an Italian favourite, yielding a good crop, and full of flavour.
• Cuor di Beu - an Italian Beef tomato, yielding large, deliciously flavoured fruits.
For those of you wanting to grow tomatoes outdoors, you’ll need to wait until the danger of frost has passed, and the good news is that all the above mentioned plants are available. They will be an ideal size for outdoor planting, with strong stems and a healthy root structure.
If it’s all new to you, you can grow tomatoes in a container on a patio, preferably in a sunny, sheltered spot, or you can plant directly into ground prepared with added compost to aid healthy growth. If you prefer, you can use growbags instead, with 3 plants per bag, though it’s easier using a container, especially where the all-important watering is concerned! Also, as the plants grow, remember you will need some canes to support them.
Finally, Courgette plants will be available soon, but it’s a bit early yet - I’ll post details here, when they’re ready ….
