We have more than enough tomatoes for the greenhouse this year so i am going to try some outside.
You can grow tomatoes outside in the UK, however they don't usually do well down on our allotment site.
They usually end up with blight. I'l give them a try anyway.

When transplanting outside i usually add some good compost to the holes i dig.

So now in this bed i now have tomatoes, aubergines and golden beetroot.

You can't beat growing your own. If you don't have a garden (like myself, i live in a flat) why not get an allotment?

if you are in the UK check out your local council. you might be surprised at how cheap they are.
We pay £75 per year (includes water rates) for a decent sized plot.

You get to grow your own, have a garden with somewhere nice to be in the summer and you get meet some great people and be a part of a great community
