Killer Tomatoes!
One of the tried and true one-liners about home gardening is where a practiced grower tells a newbie, “Tomatoes! Start with those. They’re the gateway drug!”
I get it. The seeds or plants are readily available, you can grow a single plant in a pot and it’ll flower and fruit, and tomatoes offer probably the greatest reward of all crops: a hefty piece of fruit, deep red with the promise of juicy flavor so rich that they even named one variety “beefsteak.”
But tomatoes are a bad first choice for someone just starting. Find out why in Brad’s latest “Sow It Grows” column in Columbus and the Valley Magazine, available online for free. (The column is on page 45.)
