I’m a gardening expert – Here’s how to grow the tastiest tomatoes

GROWING your own fruit and vegetables can feel rewarding until after months of patience you realise they're not quite as big as you thought they'd be.

Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable in the world, but when store-bought, they can lack flavour.

That's because they are often picked while still green, so they can be transported across the world.

Luckily, gardening experts over at the explain how to grow them in your garden and ensure they are tasty, big and that you have plenty to go around.

They said: "Much of the final tomato flavour you get depends on when and where you grow your tomatoes, as well as which variety you choose."

If you prefer a sweeter taste, your best option is to grow cherry or plum tomatoes.

The experts added: "Unlike larger, beefsteak tomatoes, it's the smaller cherry and plum varieties which are usually the sweetest.

“The care you provide while growing is important too, which will both improve the flavour and increase tomato yield.”

Tomato seeds are best sown between the months of February and April, so it's time to get started now if you want to collect your goods in July.

The number of daylight hours a tomato gets is more important to boosting yield than heat, they add.

They need a minimum of six hours to produce fruit, but eight hours or more will give you the best results.

Tomatoes convert light into energy, and they need this to make fruit.

For tastier tomatoes, they should be fed weekly.

A diluted tomato feed will help with this as well as a nice sunny spot in your garden.

So, for the best tomatoes in town, make sure you get planting this month, keep them in a sunny spot and use tomato fed regularly.
