On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise, Jan and John will talk all about tomatoes and tomato season. It is that time of the year to see the fruits of your labor coming to fruition. Our hosts will talk about the right timing for your harvest, some tomato recipes, and different signs of disease before harvesting your tomatoes.
Pro-Tip: You don’t have to wait until your tomatoes are bright red on the vine, but when they start to get that blush of color, it’s really a good time to harvest them and bring them into your home. Don’t put your harvested tomatoes in the fridge because they will quit ripening.
The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
