Growing Tomatoes

This guide will help you grow tomatoes indoors or outdoors, in pots or hanging baskets.

When do I sow them? February to March.
When will I harvest them?June – August.

You will need:

  • Tomato Seeds (I’m using Roma VF, F1 Tornado, yellow bell and Totem F1),
  • Windowsill propagator,
  • Seed Compost,
  • Vermiculite.

Instructions:

  1. Fill the propagator cells with seed compost,
  2. Lightly water compost.
  3. Open the seed packets and push one seed in each cell.
  4. Cover seeds with a thin layer of seed compost.
  5. Sprinkle vermiculite on top of cells of retain moisture and prevent mould on surface of soil.
  6. Water again lightly.
  7. Close propgator lid and put on windowsill. Monitor to check for overheating, if so remove lid.
