Product description

Tomato 'Red Alert' is an early-maturing bush variety that is perfect for gardeners who want a reliable, quick-yielding tomato plant. This variety produces an abundance of small, bright red fruits that are rich in flavour, making them ideal for fresh salads, cooking, or snacking straight from the vine. 'Red Alert' is well-suited for growing in containers, grow bags, or directly in the ground, offering great versatility for various garden setups. Its compact growth habit and early harvest make it a favourite for those who love vegetables but have limited space or time.

To grow Tomato 'Red Alert', start by sowing the seeds indoors from February to April. Place the seeds 0.5cm deep in seed compost and keep them in a warm, well-lit area to encourage germination. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors into a sunny, sheltered spot, spacing the plants about 45cm apart. This variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil for vegetables growing, ensuring that the plants produce a plentiful harvest.

Caring for Tomato 'Red Alert' is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist and to prevent the fruits from splitting. Although 'Red Alert' is a bush variety that doesn't require staking, providing some support can help keep the plants tidy and make harvesting easier. Feeding with a balanced tomato fertiliser will encourage healthy growth and maximise fruit production. With proper care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious tomatoes from June to September, making 'Red Alert' a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
