Growing Fall Tomatoes
There’s still time (just a little…) to get your tomatoes in for a fall crop. Jeff Raska, horticulturalist with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and longtime tomato grower, will share his recipe for success with this garden favorite. We will also have a few extra tomato plants available for sale after the class.
Jeff has helped design a tomato trial, which we are implementing at Raincatcher’s. Our volunteers will plant two of the same variety of tomato into each of three raised beds to demonstrate results from different types of fertilizer: compost, organic and chemical.
Raincatcher’s is a demonstration garden and project of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Dallas County Master Gardeners located on the campus of Midway Hills Christian Church. To find the fellowship hall, please park in the west parking lot and come through the courtyard to the south church building.
After the class, we will be hosting a tomato sampler lunch with suggested donations of $10 per person. Details below.
Bring a friend, the public is welcome to either or both events.

I wasn’t able to come for the talk on tomatoes today because I work, but is there any chance that you could post the recipes from tomato sampler. Sounds so interesting and yummy! Thanks Linda Klark
Recipes start tomorrow! Truly a delish day!
