Product description

Our Shirley Potted Tomatoes are a perfect, hassle free way to grow your own nutritious, fresh fruit. Whether it be in a garden or a greenhouse, an abundance of sweet, medium sized, red produce will harvest by August - September. They will require plenty of sunlight and to be planted in loam, well drained soil. Watering and feeding should occur regularly - water the plant so the soil remains moist and feed it once a week. Maintaining growth to six trusses at a time is the best way to ensure better quality fruits to be able to include in many different culinary meals such as sandwiches, soups, salads and more.

Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a 9cm grower’s pot.

Instructions

Top Tip

Grow basil alongside tomatoes. As well as complementing their flavour, basil helps keep tomato plants clear of whitefly.

How to Water

Water tomatoes regularly to ensure the moisture levels in the soil remain consistent.

How to Plant

Plant tomatoes in a sheltered, sunny spot in moist but well-draining soil. Dig a generous hole and add plenty of organic matter before placing the plant in the hole and back filling it with soil and compost. Alternatively, plant in pots or a growing bag. Provide a stake or cane for support as the plant grows.
