GROWING OUTDOOR TOMATOES

If you don’t have a greenhouse or polytunnel it doesn’t mean you can’t grow tomatoes. Even if you do, why not grow some outside on your plot so you can have copious amounts to preserve and make into sauces to freeze. Having bottled tomatoes or sauces for the winter months may be prudent should tomatoes be in short supply again next winter. Although it is possible to grow tomatoes outside, if you live in more northerly areas you may struggle and might need to grow them under cover. See our section on page 35 with some tips.
