2022 Webinar: Growing Great Tomatoes - Cultivating for Health and Productivity

This class is being offered as a live webinar with Q&A.  Our webinar platform is Demio (not Zoom).  An on demand, recorded version of this class will also be offered starting about a week after the live event.

Description:  

Although there are no pre-requisites 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. 

In "Growing Great Tomatoes: Cultivating for Health and Productivity," we go beyond the basics to address soils, planting dates, pruning, fertilizing, and proper staking/caging/trellising, and we learn to identify and troubleshoot some common tomato pests and diseases. 

The presentation will last about 2 to 2.25 hours and will be followed by a live chat Q&A (i.e., students can type in their questions).

Returning in 2022 will be our hands-on, in-person workshops in the teaching gardens:  Tomato Planting Tips and Tricks (May) and Tomato Pruning and Trellising (June).  Stay tuned!
