hi guys we’re going to be bigging up the
wonderful world of tomatoes these are
things that we love I mean just look at
these guys one of the world’s best loved
vegetables in actual fact it’s not a
vegetable
first of all botanically it’s a fruit is
fantastic
comes originally from South America
Central and South America they didn’t
actually get to Britain and Italy and
this part of Europe until sort of 14th
15th century we’re over to see Pete
who’s going to show you how to grow
tomatoes the easiest and most reliable
way p-m what can we tell these guys
about the best tricks to having success
when planting tomatoes at home you could
again as much warmth as possible
especially if you’re outside so it’s
outside it’s against the walls these are
from South America aren’t they so yeah
we’re gonna we’re kind of Eric that’s
why we got these awful Poli tunnels
because basically is replicating the
humidity and temperature yeah and they
can’t cope with any frost at all so you
can’t put them outside till beginning of
June you’re basically starting early
don’t know about April he said April for
outdoor crops February for indoor crops
like this okay so like you know growing
great grapes for wine you want to take
off or destem as they call it so you
want them to put more energy into fewer
fruit yeah and then you get a better
quality air basically so really good
now before we started working together I
had my first year and I literally
scattered seeds you know about June time
maybe a little bit before and and it
just grew into a massive bush and there
was fruit everywhere it wasn’t organized
I’ll give you that but I was amazed I
was amazed how it did you know if you’ve
got decent soil if you got water
sunlight they just do what they’re
supposed to do you know most of the time
I mean I couldn’t believe the amount of
fruit on my first year that was you know
it was messy I’ll give you that what is
this variety here cuz this is one that
me and you love every year sungold such
a reliable sort of tomato it’s the first
to ripen it goes on late it’s delicious
we experiment every year with different
ones don’t we yeah yeah if you’re thirty
different sources yeah and we’d sort of
we’ve done 30 40 different Tomatoes
every year some are more successful than
others
all of this stuff goes to 15 restaurant
and people just love it show the guys
and some of our more unusual ones
there’s some black ones around these are
new on me
it’s called indigo rose they’re not
ready yet this seems quite slow to ripen
but they start going red on the bottom
and they are ah so they go black then
they go red yeah they go black first of
all and here’s a similar one as well
this reminds me of a bad night out I had
once a lot of people living in cities
and buying from supermarkets what you
start to realize around all the food is
that your choices have been edited just
for whatever has the best shelf life or
yeah it’s more convenient to stack in a
warehouse and that’s pretty much the
truth of it they have got a lot better
in the last 10 years and there’s a lot
more choice now so definitely it’s our
job to sort of buy into it and try
things otherwise I just won’t sell it
but if you go from this gorgeous green
one and then kind of look at these
beautiful ones here to this incredible
yellow one here I mean this is I mean
let me just pick that it’s just an
incredible thing and many people believe
that the original tomatoes that came
over to Europe were yellow weren’t they
go with never got you yesterday and
Pomodoro golden apples now for the
future of tomato delivery yeah mrs.
