Tomatoes are one of the most popular plants grown in home gardens in Tennessee. A few plants will meet the needs of most families and the majority of people would agree that a home grown tomato far surpasses anything you can buy in a grocery store.
To help you gear up for the growing season, UT Extension is hosting a free workshop entitled “From My Head ToMaToes.” It will be held April 5 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at Sutton General Store in Granville, TN.
This fun, hands on workshop will cover some of the common insects and diseases that affect tomatoes. You will also learn about growth requirements of tomatoes and disorders that can sometimes ruin an entire crop.
Lunch will be available for purchase after the workshop. If you have never been to Sutton Homestead at Granville, it is well worth the trip as they have an agriculture museum, antique car museum, blacksmith shop, and much more.
I hope you can join us on April 5 for the tomato workshop and take some time while you are there to tour the Sutton Homestead. For directions or more information call the UT Extension office at 615-735-2900.
