Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum ) are the most popular fruit vegetables for home cultivation in the greenhouse, outdoors or in pots. The annual plant originally comes from Central and South America and belongs to the nightshade family ( Solanaceae ) . There are many different tomatoes , such as stick tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, bush and vine tomatoes or vine tomatoes. The plants grow differently depending on the variety, but can grow up to 2 meters tall . The fruits develop from the yellow star-shaped flower and they differ in shape and color, ranging from yellow, all sorts of red nuances to shiny black . A successful harvest is not that easy, because the tomato has great demands on the location. It needs a sunny, warm place, protected from rain and wind, with very nutrient-rich soil and plenty of water, but this must not get to the sensitive leaves under any circumstances. Most varieties need to be supported with sticks or twine, and regular stinging is also essential. Tomatoes can be grown from the end of March , but the plants are not allowed outside until mid-May, as they must be protected from frost.
