Sunny spot - away from strong winds.

In a growbag, or large pot of compost.

Keep moist, do not over water or let it dry out.

Once fruit has set, feed with tomato fertiliser as per directions.

Pinch out the growing tip after about 7 leaves. Side shoots will sprout out.

That'll do for now - let's see how we g(r)o(w)!
