Description

Plant care

Tie in beefsteak tomato plant supports as it grows, and pinch out the side shoots.

Keep well watered and feed weekly once flowers start to form.

Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit.

When plants reach the greenhouse roof, pinch out the growing tip above the top truss so the plant concentrates on ripening fruit rather than growing further greenery.

Restrict the plant to six trusses for optimum quality fruits.

Grow basil among your tomatoes as a companion plant. The scent deters Whitefly and is handy for harvesting to complement your tomatoes perfectly in Mediterranean cooking.
