When Alison brought home a tomato plant that had been given to her by her friend Phyllis, my reaction was that I no longer do veg. However, I was persuaded to give this a go, and started with planting it in a large container and placing it at the junction of the back wall and the conservatory.
Cordon tomatoes are grown on a single stem and are also known as vine tomatoes. All side shoots need to be pinched out and then also the top when it achieves the desired height. In our case at the top of our tallest support. It was lucky I had a full bottle of tomato feed. There are now about a dozen tomatoes having formed, Alison having the most important duty of counting them.
