This session will walk you through choosing, planting, and caring for the Sunshine State's favorite garden crop.
About this Event

If you have experienced the thrill of watching your first plump, red tomato ripen under the warm sun and tasted the sun burst through the juicy tomato, then you know the delight of growing America's favorite garden crop. If you have tried to plant tomatos in SW Florida and waited endlessly for flowers to morph into fruit or watched your tomato shrivel from the ground up before bearing anything, then you know the frustrations of gardening in SW Florida.

Tom Quigley, Master Gardener Volunteer and backyard tomato grower for many years, speaks from his experience and research in science-based tomato growing, to provide you with a short cut to striking garden gold!
