Product Information

With it’s upright and compact growth, the San Marzano can grow quite easily on a patio, especially when planted in larger containers. Seed Link: San Marzano Tomato Seeds #5 – Artisan Blush Tomato

If you are looking for flavor, the Artisan Blush tomato is simply one of the tastiest tomatoes around. Red Torch matures early and is a vining style plant. Because of this, a small cage or stake in the container can make harvesting a breeze. The variety has a high resistance to disease, and is self pollinating as well, so it can easily grow and produce as the only tomato plant around. Seed Link : Red Torch Tomato Seeds #3 – Beaverlodge 6806 Plum Tomato First and foremost, selecting tomato varieties that grow well in containers is a must. Small to mid size plants are best for patio growing. With smaller root structures, these varieties can grow and produce without needing massive amounts of soil.Finally, because your tomatoes are growing in a container, they also need to be fed o a regular basis to keep the plants healthy and strong. Even the best potting soil will run out of nutrients by mid summer. Working on a wet to dry cycle, each pot sits in its own tray which is filled from a valve when the water in the tray has been used by the plant. In some respects, the Easy2Grow Autopot system is a self watering planter (from a tank through a valve) because it is the plants that decide when it’s time for more water.

When the reservoir is filled with water and nutrients, a plant is able to take up water and nutrients whenever they are needed. Of course, you don’t need to water the tomatoes if it has rained the same day and they are on a roofless patio. However, pay attention to the amount of sun your Patios are getting. They can burn and yellow if your watering doesn’t keep pace with the level of full sun. Fertilize with liquid fertilizer once during the growing season, when you see fruit beginning to form. Harvesting Patio Tomatoes How do you like to grow your tomatoes? Do you like using grow bags or raised beds? Regardless of your chosen method, you want a tomato planter that fits into your growing method without an elaborate setup. AWARD WINNING CHERRY TOMATO: It's no surprise that this wonder of a tomato plant has the RHS Award of Garden Merit - it is simply wonderful. 'Sweet Million' is well named. Why? Well, maybe not literally millions but hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of delicious, sweet cherry tomatoes can be expected from each plant, over a long harvest period. They're happy in beds or in containers on the patio, in fact any sunny convenient spot. Truly amazing When choosing which tomatoes to grow, consider the types you most like to eat, their growing habit and level of hardiness and resistance to disease. What are the most popular tomato types?

If you start with seedlings, create a hole big enough for the soil clump the plant arrived in, soak the hole with water, and place the seedling, soil, roots and all, in the hole. Firm up the soil around the base of the seedling, and be sure the bottom leaves are not covered in dirt. Fertilize the same day with liquid fertilizer. Patio Tomato Care I’ve used the Autopot for many seasons and it is reliable as long as all your pipes and valves are kept clean. If you intend to grow ten or more plants, I think that the Autopot Easy2Grow System is probably the most suitable but it takes more time to set up and attention to operate. Towards the end of the season, watch out for cold nights and cover with fleece or move undercover to extend the cropping period.
