We are delighted to announce that Knox-area author, biologist, and plant expert John Tullock will be leading a second seminar here at Stanley’s for the Spring 2025 planting season. In this talk, John will share his wealth of knowledge and experience on growing warm-season vegetables in East Tennessee.What are warm-season vegetables? These vegetables are the veggies grown in the late spring, summer, and early fall. They are the edible plants that should be planted outdoors after spring frost, which in East Tennessee is typically in late April. Warm season vegetables include: cantaloupe, corn, cucumbers. eggplants, green beans, okra, peppers, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, winter squash, and zucchini.
John is an avid gardener and has literally “written the book” on the subject of food gardening with his four recent books: “Vegetable Gardening” (2015), “Seed to Supper” (2016), “Appalachian Cooking: New & Traditional Recipes” (2018), and “Grow Food at Home: Simple Methods for Small Spaces” (2020). In 2006, the American Horticultural Society honored his “Growing Hardy Orchids” with an AHS Book Award.
This seminar is free and open to the public with no registration required.
