66 Plant pick Tomato source Name Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) What they look like Plump and juicy fruit (that’s right, not a vegetable!) hang beautifully against dark green foliage. They’re available in a range of shapes, sizes, colours and forms, growing into dwarf compact shrubs or large climbing vines to suit any space, from a balcony to a garden. Where they grow Tomatoes can grow in most climates, from cold areas to the tropics. Plant in garden beds or pots, ensuring they have at least six hours of full sun each day (with a bit of protection from the hot afternoon sun if you’re growing up north). Heirloom Classic Why we love them Expect a bountiful harvest from summer to early autumn. Varieties are usually labelled as determinate or indeterminate – the former stop growing and set their fruit all at once; the latter can be picked throughout the season. Plant a few varieties to make the most of the harvest window. There are tomatoes to suit every taste, acidic or sweet, and they will all be bursting with flavour. Traditional crop available in a range of colours, sizes, shapes and tastes. Look for ‘Black Russian’ or ‘Tigerella’. Large, juicy round fruit growing on robust vines. Try ‘Grosse Lisse’ or ‘Burnley Sure Crop’. How to grow them Get a head start by sowing seeds indoors towards the end of winter. Sow in a tray filled with seed-raising mix and keep in a warm spot. Once ready, plant seedlings in well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter. Add liquid lime to sweeten the soil and prevent blossom end rot. As plants grow, feed with a complete fertiliser specific to tomatoes. For large growing varieties, gently tie the main stem to a stake as the plant grows.

Beefsteak An old-fashioned favourite, it can weigh between 250g and 500g! Look for ‘Black Krim’ or ‘Mortgage Lifter’. Words Tammy Huynh.
