    Thanks to an extra-long growing season, Southern California gardeners can enjoy fresh homegrown tomatoes all summer long.

    Scott Daigre is a gardening educator, owner of the landscape design company Powerplant and one of the organizers of Tomatomania – a large, traveling seedling sale featuring hundreds of varieties of tomatoes. Scott shares his tomato expertise and teaches us how to pick the right plants, where to find them and how space constraints don’t have to limit our ability to grow flavorful, delicious tomatoes.
