• Tomato ‘Gardeners Delight’ Grafted - ‘Gardener’s Delight’ will produce bite-sized fruits packed with a deliciously rich, sweet flavour.

• Tomato ‘Shirley’ Grafted  - This blight resistant tomato has been awarded RHS Garden Merit and Which? Best Buy. ‘Shirley’ has the best tolerance to late blight disease we have ever seen.

Matures early, and crops heavily on short-jointed plants. Nicely shaped fruits of fine quality with firm skin and scrumptious taste and texture.
• Tomato ‘Sugar Gloss’ Grafted (Cordon) - This exceptional cordon variety is one which tomato-lovers can’t afford to miss! Bred in the UK, ‘Sugar Gloss’ lives up to its name, registering 12% on the Brix sweetness scale and exceeding even the ever-popular Sungold. Grown in a greenhouse, ‘Sugar Gloss’ will yield up to 60 fruits per plant, producing long trusses of juicy, cherry tomatoes each weighing about 20-25g. 
• Tomato ‘Lizzano’ Grafted (Bush) - The F1 Lizzano is a stunning cherry tomato variety, a bush type it will thrive in a sunny spot in the garden or large container. This tomato plant will produce enormous quantities of large cherry-sized deep red fruits. Not only will it bring you a great crop, but it will also show excellent resistance to the scourge of late blight! Exceptionally sweet in flavour the F1 Lizzano is the perfect addition to your favourite summer recipes.

Pot up, and grow tomato plants on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.

Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
