Title: Tomato question.
Post by: Mimi on June 07, 2011, 12:43:25
Growing tomato Hildares for the first time (cheap seeds from Lidl)  I have lost the seed packet and just wondered if I can grow these outside as well as in the greenhouse?

They all grow outside naturally...
so it depends on how far North/South you are..
I don't know the variety... as a rule of thumb larger fruited varieties take longer to produce ripe fruit so are less suitable for outside growing. Blight can often make outdoor tom growing very hit and miss...  :-\
