Sow dwarf tomatoes
If you have a suitably sunny, sheltered spot outdoors, you can grow tomatoes. Raising from seed gives you a better choice of varieties, particularly with bush types which are the easiest to grow. The variety ‘Totem’ is dwarf and will provide an early crop, while Tomato F1 ‘Summerlast’ is disease-resistant. Both are good for growing in containers.
You can start seed off from mid-february to April in a heated propagator or on a bright windowsill. Keep the seedlings indoors in a well-lit spot and repot into larger containers when plants are 15cm tall. Acclimatise to outdoor conditions ready for planting into window boxes, patio pots or growing bags two weeks after the last frost.
