Grow tomato Alicante, a cordon-variety that has withstood the tests of time and remained a popular variety among fond home-growers.

Heavy-cropping Alicante type gives you plentiful tomatoes on long trusses from July and right in autumn.

Enjoy big harvests from this classic, older tomato variety. As a cordon type this tomato makes a great space-saving variety and a tomato to consider if you just have a greenhouse or equivalent on a balcony or patio area.

How to grow

Tomatoes are easy to grow from seed, provided you have somewhere warm and sunny to sow them. A heated greenhouse is ideal, but you can also sow tomato seeds in pots on a sunny windowsill. Sow tomato seeds indoors from January to April. Sow the seeds thinly in seed trays filled with peat-free seed compost, water gently, and cover lightly with a 1cm (1/4in) layer of compost or vermiculite. Cover with clingfilm to create a humid environment. Place the trays somewhere warm, such as a heated greenhouse or sunny windowsill. Remove the clingfilm once the seeds have germinated and keep the compost moist. If grown on a windowsill, try to turn the tray regularly so the plants don’t lean towards the light.
