This month the LA County Master Gardeners will occupy the Green Tent with their own version of “Tomatomania” on Sunday, April 7, from 9 am to 1 pm.
There are dwarf tomatoes that grow well in the ground and excellently in containers. Many people claim that Sweet 100s are their favorite cherry tomatoes.
It doesn’t happen often but they are also bringing eggplant seedlings.
And--sweet red peppers!
Marigolds, both yellow and orange will help repel the root nematodes from the tomatoes!
Succulents of course for the drought tolerant-minded (even though we’ve had quite the rainy season)!
If you’ve been to a plant nursery lately and you brought home those little “pony packs,” don’t discard them — recycle them with the MGs and they fill them up with veggies, flowers, herbs and more for future Green Tent appearances.
And if you’re wondering what to do in your garden in April, we have the answers for you!
