Sowing, Seeds, Planting Sow tomato seeds under cover at end of Feb-April for planting out in April/May. Sow basil seeds from April under cover, or plant out from June when nights are warm.
Care Tips For basil, pinch out growing tips so plants bulk out. This grows well in container pots. For tomatoes, under cover or outside they need staking, and regular watering and feeding for best results. While still small, you also need to pinch out the side shoots. Water regularly to prevent splitting. Can be grown in a greenhouse or outside in a sunny, well-sheltered spot.
Harvesting July - October. For basil, remove individual leaves or stems, don't cut the plant to the ground. Remove flowers as they appear.

Advice
Tomato tart with poppy seed pastry recipe

One of the best summer tarts, with delicious extra nuttiness from the poppy seeds, sharpness from the tomatoes a good contrast to the creamy cheese.

Slow-cooked tomato with feta and basil salad recipe

Use your oven to 'sun-dry' your tomatoes. This retains their sweetness, does not dry them out too much and preserves them short-term.
