Is there anything better than a homegrown tomato, fresh from your vine? We think not. Come learn about everything tomato. We’ll cover what varieties to chose, how to pick your site, how much to water and feed, methods of support and much more. We’ll show you how to prune with our tomatoes in the greenhouse. Learn about common tomato pests and problems and what to do about them. Get ready for an abundant tomato season!
