In this class, we go beyond the basics to address soils, planting dates, pruning, fertilizing, and proper staking/caging/trellising. We will also learn to identify and troubleshoot some common tomato pests and diseases. This workshop is the perfect prelude to a successful tomato growing season!
Although there are no prerequisites for this class, we will build on the topics addressed in "Growing Great Tomatoes: Tomato Fundamentals, Variety and Flavor," in which we learned about tomato terminology and considered factors such as disease resistance/susceptibility, days to maturity, yield, use and flavor profile.
