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.

Mijn naam is Tom en ik ben mede-eigenaar van Plukkers.com. Ik ben papa van twee zonnetjes van dochters en ik heb een schat van een vrouw. Toen ik in 2014 van een kale plek in het gazon een kruidentuintje maakte, kreeg ik een heel apart gevoel van binnen. Ik voelde meteen dat het geen bevlieging was maar de start van een onweerstaanbare en vurige passie. Ik wilde alles weten en schreef wat ik leerde ook weg naar mijn website Moestuinweetjes, intussen heet die Plukkers.com. Ik wil ook andere mensen begeesteren om hun eigen voedsel te kweken. Aan mijn huis in Wielsbeke ligt mijn droomtuin met serre, moestuin en een hobby-wijngaard met 333 wijnstokken. Naast wijn maak ik binnenshuis ook lekker bier om af en toe met mate(n) het leven te vieren. Ik toast met jou op een boeiend, rijk gevuld leven onder het motto : “Maak het zelf !”.
