Do you like tomatoes, Reader? But how do we ensure we actually get a successful harvest of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes or eggplants? Join us tonight at 4:30 PT / 5:30 MT / 6:30 CT / 7:30 ET. Dave and I are hosting a live webinar focusing on the Solanaceae family.

If you've been wondering which tomato varieties to try, why your eggplant always sulks in June, or how to keep peppers producing longer, come with your questions and register below!
Hope to see you tonight. Grow abundantly, |
