Description

Our cohort in all things tomato, Don Shor of Redwood Barn Nursery in Davis, got into a lot of helpful information for tomato gardeners besides just talking about tomato varieties in Episode 317 of the Garden Basics podcast, The 2024 Tomato Preview Show. The mini-podcast (above) highlights four tips we discussed that can make you a more successful gardening tomato-head.

Among Don’s tips:

• The first thing you should do when you when bring that tomato plant home from the nursery.

• And, if you are growing tomato plants from seed, what you need to do before you plant it outdoors.

• How to save tomato seeds from open pollinated varieties for next year.

• How to save your tomatoes when it gets really, really hot.

• How to improve the flavor and texture of supermarket tomatoes.

• Plus, I threw in an extra tip on growing fruit trees in containers for a longer fruit production life in tight quarters.
