Learn all about tomatoes, from their origin and history, to choosing the right type of plant and seed to grow your own delicious tasting fruit.
The talk explores the difference between F1 and heritage varieties, the different types of plants and growing methods, and how to grow tomatoes naturally without the use of shop bought chemicals.
We discuss pests and diseases specific to tomatoes and how to protect and treat naturally. Depending on the time of year I will have various plants and tomatoes to look at and discuss.
Know your tomatoes talk works well during May, June, July and August.
I am always open to discussion and questions from the audience.
