Nothing has been written about this crop yet but I thought it would be a good idea to put the page up so that links to the same crop page develop in both the [[List of vegetables to grow]] and the [[Monthly planner]]. This should reduce the chance of us getting one page written as 'Tomato' and another written as 'Tomatoes' and another written as 'Tomato Plants'.
