Tomato ‘Grafted Gardeners Favourite’ Collection combines three brilliant varieties, in different sizes and tastes, that are suitable for growing in allotments or gardens alike. Growing more than one variety of tomato is great for growing your tomato pallet, as a common misconception about tomatoes is that they all taste very similar. Collection consists of: Gardener’s Delight – A bitesize, cherry fruit that tastes sweet and produces large harvests, since 1984! Moneymaker – Popular variety that produces classically tasting, medium sized tomato fruits with great resistance to greenback. Heavy cropper. Shirley – Early maturing variety that produces large crops of high quality, healthy fruits. Resistant to leaf mould, greenback and fusarium. Please note: There is a chance that the plant will include a grafting clip, if this is the case, this is an integral part of the grafting process therefore it should be left in place. As the plant grows it will naturally shrug off the clip.
Growing Information
Pot up, and grow tomato plants on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.
Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5’) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
