Tomato Success With Craig LeHoullier - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - May 21, 2020

Every gardener has his or her own tomato secrets, tips, and tricks they're sure will bring earliest fruit or the biggest harvest. Some of us swear by staking others by caging, some let their plants sprawl and then there's to feed or not to feed and what about preventing tomato troubles like blossom end rot or hornworm damage or yellowing leaves. 

And last week I wrote a tomato growing story as part of a garden series I've been doing in “The New York Times,” and this week I wanted to continue that tomato theme and talk about them with Mr. Tomato himself, Craig LeHoullier, a.k.a. NC Tomato Man and author of the classic book, “Epic Tomatoes.”  

Craig has gardened and grown tomatoes in areas of the U.S. as different as New England and Seattle, Pennsylvania and Raleigh, North Carolina, and lately in the mountains of Western North Carolina, too. He's one of the founders of the Dwarf Tomato Project that we've talked about on the show before, and generally just an all tomato all the time kind of guy.
