Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Tomatoes are warm-season vegetables that require at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily, consistent watering, and fertile, well-drained soil to produce their best fruit. Regular feeding with a balanced fertiliser, staking or caging for support, and removing suckers on indeterminate varieties will greatly improve your yield. Watch for common pests such as aphids and tomato hornworm, and rotate planting locations each year to prevent soil-borne disease build-up.
