Tomatoes

The weather is warming and thoughts turn to getting those tomatoes in the ground. If you need to spray any weeds around the garden, in between paving etc, make sure you do it BEFORE you plant tomatoes. They are very susceptible to hormone damage from weed sprays and just the slightest whiff can upset them.
Try planting a grafted tomato this year for a bumper crop. Give them a sunny, well drained spot (raised beds are ideal) with support such as a trellis to let it grow, and grow and grow ......
