$20

The weather may be hot, but all is not lost for your vegetable garden, even in late July.  Fall tomato time is just around the corner!  Learn the steps that should be taken now so your tomato transplants are ready for August planting.  While the tomato is often thought of as a summer treat, the Houston climate offers a second chance for homegrown tomatoes in the fall!  This class covers soil types, soil additives, site selection, tomato types, and fertilization.
