CSUN-al Gardening Series:
Crazy for TOMATOES!,
Scott Daigre, Saturday, March 6, 2010, 9-11 a.m.
Tomato growing is a favorite annual event for many Southern California home gardeners. And when you consider the great number of varieties available, it's no wonder that tomato gourmands look forward to planting their tomato seedlings. But what's the best approach to preparing the soil and caring for the plants? Do different varieties require special fertilizer blends or watering schedules? Scott Daigre, proprietor of Tomatomania!, will enlighten us on his strategy for selecting and growing the tomato varieties best suited to the San Fernando Valley.
As well as enjoying his own home garden, Mr. Daigre is the proprietor of PowerPlant Garden Design and the annual Tomatomania! event in Encino. His garden designs have been featured on DIY and HGTV programs.
Often one of the first plants to a new gardener, tomatoes are easy to grow and offer tasty and nutritious rewards. Join us!
