Bring vibrant flavour to your kitchen garden with Thompson & Morgan Tomato Ailsa Craig 50 Seeds Packet, offering glossy red globe-shaped fruits loved by gardeners for their rich colour and superb taste. You'll enjoy the versatility to grow them in a greenhouse or outdoors, with each plant reaching up to two metres tall and producing medium-sized tomatoes perfect for salads or cooking. Each packet contains 50 seeds and comes with clear growing instructions, making it easy to nurture a bountiful harvest from July to October whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out. How to grow: Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes seven to 14 days. Water tomato plants frequently, to keep the compost evenly moist. Feed tomatoes regularly with a high potash plant food once the first truss of fruit has formed. Tie the main stems to their supports and remove any sideshoots that develop between the main stem and the leaf stems. Once the plant has produced six or seven trusses, pinch out the top of the main stem. This process of "side shooting" and "stopping" will increase the availability of light and air movement around the developing fruit, and focus the plants energy on producing a good crop of high quality tomatoes. Tomatoes can be harvested as they ripen from July to September.
