If British gardeners want to start growing delicious tomatoes now and have them in time for their summer BBQs, then this type might be the best one for them to plant. Spring has officially arrived which means summer is on the horizon. Around this time of the year is when many Brits are busy in their gardens sowing the seeds for colourful flowers and tasty fruits and vegetables .
Tomatoes are one of the most rewarding things to grow in your garden and when they are done right , using all the best tips and tricks in the book, they can turn out deliciously sweet, ready to use in a salad or for a number of dishes like pizza and curry. But there are many varieties of tomato to choose from when it comes to growing them at home. So, you want to choose the one that will give you the best results.
According to gardening experts, one of the best tomatoes to grow in your garden if you live in the UK is the Tomato ‘Crimson Blush’. This variety of tomato will crop between June and September, says UK gardening experts Suttons. This is a beefsteak tomato that gives delicious sweet results and is best grown outdoors in a garden.
Originally, it was bred with a UK climate in mind, so British gardeners can trust that it is a good choice. One of the major benefits of this tomato crop is that it is blight-resistant, giving gardeners peace of mind when it comes to planting it and looking after it. It is said to be sweeter than other beefsteak varieties of tomato and actually closely resembles a cherry tomato flavour.
With its generous size and sweet taste, the Crismson Blush works well for summer dishes such as salads as well as toppers for things like barbecued burgers enjoyed in the garden on a sunny day. The seeds of this plant are first to be planted in a frost-free, controlled environment until they are large enough to be planted outside. Suttons listed a number of other tomato varieties that are perfect for growing outdoors in the UK including Gardener's Delight, F1 Honeycomb, Crimson Crush and F1 Lizzano.
There are a number of ways to get the best results from your tomato plants this spring/summer, including planting them beside basil to ward off pests and improve the flavour..
