Growing Great Tomatoes

  • Garden City Harvest 1657 River Road Missoula United States (map)

There is so much to learn when it comes to one of the charismatic mega-flora, solanum lycopersicum, aka the tomato. Farmer Liam Cody will help workshop participants untangle tomatoes, from the beginning of the season to the long-awaited fruit of early fall.

In this workshop you’ll learn:

  • Which tomato is for you

  • How to plant (different than many veggies!)

  • Trellising

  • Early season care

  • Common pests and disease

And then get ready for the best caprese salad, BLT or T+M (tomato and mayo, of course!) sandwiches of your life.
