Tomatoes – Planting & Cultural Best Practices: 10-Minute University™ Noon-Time Chat

This class is the final installment of a series on tomatoes, each is perfectly timed for what you need to know. We will pick up from planting out tomatoes into the garden – where we ended last time, and share best practices in fertilizing, watering, pruning, and disease management.

Questions that will be addressed:
• When should I plant the tomato start in the garden?
• What are the best ways to support my tomato plant?
• How do I grow for better health?
• How do I prune, water and fertilize tomatoes?
• What are the common tomato diseases and disorders? And how do I manage them?
• How to best meet weather challenges, environmental problems, and insect pests.
• What will help me get an early harvest?
• How do I maximize the harvest?
• Can tomatoes be stored well?

Our speaker Amelia Wilbur is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. She and her husband once co-owned a tomato grafting business. They grow a wide variety of vegetables and fruiting plants on their 3.5-acre home garden and annually harvest more than 500 pounds of tomatoes.
