Your Successful Tomato Harvest


Do you like tomatoes, Reader?


Or peppers, potatoes or eggplants?

Well, these plants all happen to be part of the Solanacea plant family.

And where we live in Virginia, these family members are growing in ground for us.

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.

  • We'll talk heirloom varieties worth growing,
  • what these plants need in terms of maintenance
  • And who their favorite companion plants are!

Most of all, we'll be giving you all the juicy tips on how to have a Successful Solanacea Harvest on our Solanacea Festival webinar!

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,

Nicky & Dave

The tomatoes are not quite in the ground. (We're still recovering from farm tour) The eggplants are settling while flea beetles threaten to...

Our old log cabin

Dear Reader, There's a log cabin on the back of our property that brings me so much joy. Now, the truth is, it has seen better days. It's rickety. There are gaps in the eaves. The red cedar is showing its age and the chinking is falling apart. We don't have the budget to do what it needs right now. But this week, I walked in with a broom, a vision, and printed art by Scottish artist Anne Thubron, and I thought: what if I just start here? Anne, by the way, illustrated much of the botanical art...

The Loudoun Spring Farm Tour

Dear Reader,Just wanted to celebrate Wilma from Washington, a member of our GIY Community. Just look at her beautiful lettuce bed! Wilma's transplanted lettuces growing beautifully with rosemary! Meanwhile, at Bethany Farm, every day has been planting day for our family. As soon as the kids get off school, we do a nature walk/run at a nearby trail. My PlantNet app ID-ed this as "Dames rocket" a beautiful purple brassica that peppers the trail we run. And then head home where I unplug the wifi...
