Tomatoes 101
On Saturday April 30, the Fluvanna Master Gardeners hosted a tomato workshop presented by Marie Taylor. Not only did Marie share a wealth of information about tomatoes and growing tomatoes, she also shared her baked goods made with green tomato mincemeat and tomato paste.
Some MGs have been growing tomatoes over the winter months to sell at the workshop and our attendees were very generous in their support. Thank you!
