Tomatomania

Vine-ripened tomatoes from your own garden, it doesn’t get much better.

Grow your own and enjoy the delicious result and health benefits. April and May are great months to get your tomatoes growing!

We have the old favorites, heirloom varieties, and new hybrids. Fredriks will dazzle us with their tasty “Colorful Collection” and Upstarts will offer certified organic options. There’s something for everyone.

Invest in sturdy tomato cages and use them year after year. (In the winter turn them upside down and use to support flowering or edible peas!) Your little tomato seedlings will reach 5-6’ in height. With the cage support, you can plant more in a small space. I’ve been known to wedge seven tomatoes into a 4’ x 8’ raised bed with room on the edges for basil, chives, and other favorite herbs.

Before you know it, you’ll be slicing tomatoes for salads, making Bruschetta and delicious sauces from your harvest. Add other veggies to the garden as weather permits. Basil and melons love it warm. Save space for them and plant in May.
