All About Tomatoes

I am convinced that anyone who says they don't like tomatoes has never had a real garden tomato, grown in a backyard, nurtured by loving gardener's hands, and harvested at the peak of ripeness. For this southern girl, it's hard to beat the flavor of a fresh garden tomato and in my kitchen, our summer menu is almost always served with a side of sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of salt.

I would like to share my experience growing tomatoes with you. This class covers the basics of how to understand plant labels (What the heck is an "indeterminate" tomato, anyway?! Hint: it's not a tomato that can't make up it's mind.) as well as what to look for in your garden space to help you select the right tomato for your growing conditions. I've thrown in a few tried and true tips of my own, including my tomato cocktail, which probably isn't what you expect.

This class covers the entire growing process from selecting seed, to organic pest control, to fertilization, and harvest. If you are a brand new gardener, you will learn the basics of growing tomatoes, while more experienced gardeners may learn some new techniques for organic growing.

I hope you enjoy watching this class as much as I have enjoyed making it!
