Grow

your owntomatoes!

Sowing seed

Tomatoes are very easy to grow fromseed. Alternatively you can buy tomatoplants from late spring from garden

centres and are a good option where youcant maintain the right conditions forgermination and growing on.

Sow seed in early spring for outdoor crops,and late winter for growing in an unheatedglasshouse. Seed can be expensive, butusually only a few plants are needed, andgermination is usually good.

Fill 9cm (3in) pot with seed ormultipurpose compost

Level and rm the compost, then water Sow seeds on the compost surface,

spacing them evenly, about a nger-width apart, to prevent damping offdisease

Cover the seed with a layer ofvermiculite

Keep at approximately 21C (70F),ideally in a heated propagator, untilseedlings emerge

Transfer seedlings to a heatedgreenhouse or, although less good, asunny windowsill

Seedlings emerge after about vedays. Place them in the best possiblelight (such as a greenhouse) and at atemperature of around 18C (65F)to prevent seedlings becoming long,thin and leggy. Leggy plants producetheir rst owers high up on the plantleading to a bare, unproductive lowerstem.

Pricking out

Seedlings should be large enough to prickout into separate pots of multipurposecompost two weeks or so after sowing:

Ideally, ll pots two days beforepricking out, water well, and allowto warm up to room temperature toreduce the chance of the seedlingsdamping off

Hold seedlings by their cotyledons(seed leaves) to avoid damage to thedelicate stems

Make a hole in the compost big enoughto take the roots and lightly rm theseedling in place

Water in with tepid water Reduce the temperature to 16C (60F)

when plants reach 15cm (6in) high.

Growing on

Ideally, grow on in a glasshouse (or failingthis, a well-lit windowsill), spacing plantsso that their leaves never touch to avoidlegginess. About a month after prickingout, the plants will be ready for plantinginto their nal positions this is indicatedby the rst owers showing their yellowcolour. The stress of being grown in theconnes of a pot promotes owers earlierthan in less stressful positions, such asgrowing in the ground.

Cultivation notes

Whether you raise plants from seed or buyyour plants, they can all be grown in thesame way.

PlantingPlant outside in early summer. In unheatedgreenhouses, planting can take place inmid-spring. Set plants 40cm (16in) apartand water in well.

Watering and feedingRoots should be kept moist but neverwaterlogged. Pots and grow-bags requirefrequent watering. Feeding isnt essentialfor soil-grown plants, but those in bags orpots benet from regular feeding, usingtomato feed and following manufacturersinstructions.

Fruit setTomato owers self-pollinate readily.However, indoor plants benet from beinggently shaken to dislodge the pollen. Mistingowers with water can help fruit set.

HarvestingPick fruits as required, with the calyx (stalk)still attached. When cropping slows in earlyautumn, green fruits can be gathered andkept in a warm, dark place to ripen.

ProblemsIn a warm summer, tomatoes are easy togrow if they are well watered. However,problems can occur, with fruit ripening,fruit splitting and cracking, leaf problems,stem problems, blossom end rot, tomatoblight, tomato leaf mould and tomato

viruses.

IN FINE FORM:Lead by BAFTA-winning Clare Balding, Channel 4s excellent racing commentary team get set for Ascot later this month

Royal Ascot returns on 18th - 22th of this monthand, for the rst time, will be shown exclusivelyon Channel 4 as part of their extensive racing

coverage.

With 30 high-class races held over the course of vedays, including ve at the very top (Group 1) level,Royal Ascot is an unrivalled spectacle of exceptionalracing, with an increasingly international prole ofrunners and riders. The week is also, of course, a keydate in the social calendar as ladies dig out their wildesthats and fascinators for Ladies Day, and the majority ofrace-goers prepare for their wallets and purses to takea battering.

Racing is my home sport and I am delightedthat I will still be part of its coverage on TV. I am excitedby Channel 4s plans for their coverage and the way inwhich they have committed to expanding the prole of

jockeys, trainers and horses.

Channel 4 secured a new deal for the entire UKhorse racing terrestrial rights for 2013-2016 with theRacecourse Media Group (RMG), in association withJockey Club Racecourses, Ascot Racecourse and otherindependent racecourses.

The four-year partnership willdeliver around 90 days a year of terrestrial coverage ofhorse racing on Channel 4.

Clare is anked by an impressive commentary team,including legend Jim McGrath, Gina Bryce - who joinsthe team after a scholarship at the prestigious Darley

Flying Start, Graham Cunningham and Simon Holt.

Channel 4s racing coverage across the ve-day Royalmeeting will incorporate over 31 hours of live actionwith six daily races plus a feast of programming tosupport the occasion.
