Tomatoes love the warm weather in Plettenberg Bay. The fresh taste of a warm, juicy tomato is unforgettable. In gardens as small and compact as your window-box or tucked into an apartment's terrazza (a kind outdoor living space), tomatoes are worth growing for their deliciousness alone; but if you have room to grow more than just one plant--even in large containers on the balcony—then do so with joy!
They enjoy the sunny location and fertile, well-drained soil on our north facing slope at Rosheen Crescent 17 in Plettenberg Bay South Africa at our Food Forest.
Tomatoes are daily needed for incorporation into things like stews, soups, salads, amongst many others.
