  • Commercial growers get fantastic tomato yields but they don't taste so good. Concentrate on quality

    My tips would be make sure that you have good light with clean glass and you give excellent ventilation

    I'm growing gardener's delight and the final growing position will be grow bags in the greenhouse. What sort of feed is best and what can I expect taste-wise? Last year I grew money maker and while they were nice and big, the taste was more bland than I was expecting.

    Gardener's Delight are one of the best flavoured of the older varieties, so you should be in for a pleasant surprise. image  Modern hybrid cherry-sized varieties like Sungold are sweeter and have more flavour too, but the seeds won't come true if you save them.

    My top-tip for flavour is to avoid over-watering and over-feeding.  As our resident tomato expert Italiophile says, give them 'tough love' and they'll reward you! image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
