How to grow your best-ever crop of tomatoes
26.01.2024 - 14:25 / gardenersworld.com
If you’re as keen on growing tomatoes as I am you’ll be getting read to sow now. I sow them as early as February to grow inside and late March for plants to go out in the veg patch. Don’t panic if you’re late sowing, they do catch up, you’ll just be picking a little later.
Choose your favourite cultivars: I eat ‘Sungold’ F1 like sweeties, they ripen early under cover, ‘Ildi’ is a good bush alternative for outside. Beef tomatoes are so impressive and tasty; ‘Super Marmande’ F1 gets my vote and I grow ‘Crimson Crush’ outside where it’s so good at resisting the dreaded blight. Watch my guide to sowing tomato seeds, to ensure yours get off to the best possible start. Then check out my six top tips for growing tomatoes.

How to Grow Photinia
Photinias are large shrubs or, occasionally, small trees, grown principally for their handsome foliage as well as attractive flowers and fruits, depending on the type. Most photinias are evergreen and by far the most popular and colourful is Photinia ‘Red Robin’, which makes a superb display of leaves that are bright sealing-wax red when young. Photinia is easy to grow in the right conditions, hardy except in cold or exposed sites – and is prone to frost damage – and suits a range of sites and uses around the garden. Photinias are reasonably fast growing, typically putting on 30cm of growth per year, making them an ideal option for a hedge. Depending on the variety, photinia grows from between 1.5 and 4m high and wide.

How to grow Collard Greens plants with celery seeds
Sow celery thinly in pots or boxes in heat in March for early varieties, or in a cold house in mid-April for the main crop. Prick off into deep seed boxes as soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, at 5cm (2in) intervals. After hardening off, plant out from mid May to the end of June, in prepared trenches. This is not only helpful in earthing but enables watering to be carried out by flooding the trench.
