All You Need to Know to Grow Amazing Tomatoes (and a garden) in North Carolina
with Frank Hyman
To help you grow the most amazing tomatoes, we’ll discuss a concept called Sister Regions. Just as human sisters can often wear the same pants, Sister Regions can happily grow the same plants. But if your rainy region isn’t akin to where a plant—like tomatoes—evolved, then they may struggle to do well, no matter how much effort you put into it. We’ll dig into the origins of the first tomato plants and their circuitous route to becoming the most valued vegetable (or is it a fruit?). Expect these mysteries to be unravelled, as Frank Hyman—author of Ripe Tomato Revolution—also throws in a few of his revolutionary tomato growing techniques that aren’t found in other books or blogs: a Tomato House? a straw bale patio? a compost bin on wheels? Expect your tomato growing to be radicalized.
