Growing Tasty Tomatoes

With the right conditions, tomatoes are easy to grow and taste terrific homegrown! Learn how to grow tomatoes in your sunny garden or containers. In this Village Vancouver Westside Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Rhiannon Johnson, we’ll cover different types of tomatoes, starting from seed vs. buying a start, soil, care, and what to expect. To keep your tomatoes healthy, we’ll talk about tomato diseases and how to avoid them. You’ll learn how and when to harvest the tomatoes and how to ripen the green ones in the fall. We’ll have a community seed library present – pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Reduced fee for Seniors (65 and over).
