Harvest
Enjoy the rewards of a sun-warmed tomato grown for your own back garden. Tomato Shirley F1 is a much-loved variety popular with home-growers up and down the country.
A firm favourite in the UK Tomato Shirley F1 is a cordon type which gives you a longer-harvest of fewer tomatoes than bush varieties. The bonus of this is harvests at just the right quantity at any one time over the whole of the summer and into autumn.
Experts from the RHS love that it’s easy to grow and offer a great taste and texture. Disease-resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Fusarium oxysporum this Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Award of Garden Merit (AGM) variety is reliable and gives you peace of mind that your long-lasting harvests will be unspoilt from disease.
We suggest that you add a potash-rich liquid feed when your tomato Shirley plants come into flower. This gives them an extra boost by giving them the right nutrients at the right time. Water regularly and consistently to keep fruit growing and avoid skin-splitting.
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.
