Heirloom tomatoes are at the top of the list of favorites for the home gardener, especially with the almost unlimited number of varieties that are available. Knowing which varieties are best suited for the San Fernando Valley's hot summer climate can make the difference between an adequate crop and a super-abundant bonanza of fruit. There are also strategies to planting (where, when), fertilizing (when, how much), and watering (when, how much) which can maximize the harvest.
Scott Daigre, proprietor of Tomatomania and owner of PowerPlant, is nationally known for his tomato events. His home garden hosts dozens of heirloom varieties every year and he is eager to share his practical knowledge with you. Do you know when too much heat is bad for tomatoes? Or, why it is recommended to not plant tomatoes in the same location two years in a row?
Afterward you will feel like you've earned a degree in tomato growing, but there won't be a quiz at the end of class. Instead, your newly-gained knowledge will prepare you to grow your best heirloom tomatoes ever!
Registration is required. Please register via e-mail at: botanicgarden@csun.edu
