I don't know why, but growing tomatoes is, for me personally, the most satisfying thing I do. I love dishes with a lot of acidity, maybe that's why. You can also use tomatoes in almost any dish. From a simple salad to a rich pasta sauce, you can use them in all sorts of ways.

You can buy tomato plants and start them in mid-May. But you can also choose to sow your own tomatoes, which you should do in mid-March. I highly recommend the latter. You'll have a much wider choice of colors, sizes, and flavors.

You can grow tomatoes in different ways: in the open ground, in pots on the terrace or balcony, or even in a greenhouse or under glass.

These tips are not only useful for the backyard, but also ideal if you want to grow tomatoes in your allotment. These are our favorite tomato seeds : Many people have questions about growing tomatoes; we'll answer these later in the article.

When I turned a bare spot in the lawn into a herb garden in 2014, I got a very special feeling inside. I immediately felt that it was not a whim but the start of an irresistible and fiery passion. I wanted to know everything and also wrote down what I learned on my website Moestuinweetjes, which is now called Plukkers.com. I also want to inspire other people to grow their own food. At my house in Wielsbeke is my dream garden with a greenhouse, vegetable garden and a hobby vineyard with 333 vines.
