Mid-American Gardener

Got tomato problems?

 

Kay and Jen are in the studio this week and teach us how to deal with more tomato challenges. Blossom end rot may be plaguing your tomato vines, but Jen shares her tips to combat the weather and while they don’t look pretty, she reassures us those tomatoes are still good to eat! 


Kay also brings in her heirloom varieties, including Cherokee Purple tomatoes and teaches us how to encourage basil to keep producing leaves. They also answer your questions about growing ginger, tackling crown vetch in flower beds, how to over winter fuchsia, and care for pitcher plants. 

 

If you’ve got any questions for our panelists, please send us an email at yourgarden@gmail.com com, or you can find us on Facebook and Instagram.
