Growing Tomatoes

(and other Successful Vegetable Gardening Advice)

​

Few things in the garden are more satisfying than biting into a sun-warmed tomato fresh from the vine (and yes, tomatoes are fruits!). Yet for many of us, the dream of growing flawless tomatoes and thriving vegetables can quickly turn frustrating. If it's not rodents or pests, something else always seems determined to sabotage our vision of a bountiful harvest.​​

​

We had a record turnout of 123 people come and listen to our February speaker, David Boucher, who shared his expertise on vegetable gardening, with a special focus on growing tomatoes successfully. A Master Gardener since 2016, David has been cultivating his own organic vegetables in San Diego for more than 40 years. His Ocean Beach home was even featured on the 2021 San Diego Floral Association Garden Tour. We were delighted to have David join us and pass along his hard-earned knowledge.

​

New this month, we have created a RESOURCES page, accessible from the button on the left, where we will post handouts from our speakers. See a list of Vegetable Gardening Resources available from the Master Gardener Association of San Diego County website.
