I have a little tomato update! We joined in with the Heinz Grow Your Own Challenge a while ago and planted some seeds! Those seeds grew shoots and now we have lots of little leaves!

We’ve been watering them every day and keeping a close eye on the little tomato plant which we hope will grow us some fruit to make our own chutney and sauces with! Soon it will be time to transfer them to a bigger post I think although I am no gardener and will have to ask my Mum, who also has a Heinz tomato plant on her own window sill!

Everyone can apply to get some FREE seeds from the Heinz Facebook page and join in with the challenge too! Share your pictures for the Greenhouse Photo Gallery, Attend the Tomato School, play the Tomato Game and read all about how Heinz grow theirs, as well as getting some tips and tricks for growing yours! Heinz grow their own varieties for their sauce which is the inspiration behind getting us to grow ours too! It’s really good fun and because the shoots grow really quickly it’s a good plant to grow with children!

I was not paid to write this post but I have been offered an incentive to enter the ‘Heinz Grown Your Own Initiative’. The incentive is a hamper of goodies if I keep updating you on our own growing journey. I have to say though, for this challenge, there is no incentive needed as we are more than happy to grow our own tomatoes and blog about it, but it’s jolly nice of them so we thought we’d let you know!
