About the event
This isn't your basic gardening 101. We’re going under the soil and into the canopy to discuss:
Soil Life & Nutrition: Understanding the role of soil microbes, micronutrients, and minerals in cycling nutrients for peak flavor.
The Tomato Architect: How to identify and trim determinant vs. indeterminant varieties for maximum yield.
Pest & Disease Defense: How to spot common diseases early and how we use beneficial insects to do the "dirty work" for us.
Hydration Strategy: Master the art of watering as your plants develop dense canopies and massive root systems during the summer heat.
Varieties Matter: Why certain tomatoes and peppers thrive on a patio while others belong in the ground.
