TIPS
- Keep plants watered well.
- Growing indoors - when first flowers open, transfer into growing bags, large pots or greenhouse borders
- Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out, after the danger of frost has passed.
- Allow 60cm (2ft) between plants.
- Support the main stem of the plant with a cane.
- Remove side-shoots as they appear.
- When the first fruits start to develop, ideally feed them with a tomato fertiliser.
- Water well and regularly, place some straw under them to prevent rain damage.
