Do your tomatoes have a habit of remaining stubbornly green? Or perhaps you're lucky to enjoy lots of lovely fruits - just all at once. Either way, Benedict Vanheems is here with some top tips to ripen and process the nation's favourite summer staple

Time and again tomatoes top the polls of our very favourite homegrown crop. It's no wonder - with such a veritable smorgasbord of varieties in a universe of sizes and shapes, there's always going to be something new for us to explore.



Getting tomato plants to the point of perfection includes the basics: the sunniest, warmest position you can muster, frequent watering to support steady growth, and regular feeding to encourage flowers and fruits. There's little point skimping on the tomato feed - the small cost will be repaid many times over in the abundance of what you pick.
