Harden off outdoor plants gradually before planting out. When the first trusses of flowers appear transfer to the growing site. Growbags are the most common method of glasshouse growing, 3 plants per bag. Outdoor plants should be set 45cm apart with 75cm between rows. Stake the plants for support tying the stem loosely to the cane. As small shoots appear a the leaf joints remove them when about 2cm long. Take out the growing point when the plants reach the glasshouse eaves or the top of the cane outdoors. Water regularly and often, uneven watering causes fruit to split and black blotches to form on the base of the fruit - known as Blossom End rot.
