In our latest podcast we bring back Scott Daigre of TomatoMania for a mid-season check in on tomatoes. We chat about tomato troubles and how to manage them in your summer garden.
Tomatoes are fun to grow, but they can be tricky, especially some heirloom types. But their flavor and beauty is worth the effort. Scott and Christy share some of their favorites this season.
