About this Event
Tired of waiting until July for your first ripe, flavorful tomato or homegrown pepper? Learn how to start your own plants indoors now so they're big, strong, and ready to transplant right after the last frost (usually late April or early May for us) - giving you earlier harvests and way more productive plants!
In this hands-on class, you'll:
- Pick from a variety of tomato or pepper seeds & plant them during the class into a 50-cell seed tray
- Discover the perfect timing & techniques for tomatoes vs. peppers
- Learn how to choose the best seeds, soils, lights, heat mats, and containers to avoid leggy failures
- Understand why the terms heirloom & open-pollinated or hybrid matter
- Learn how to prevent damping off, provide proper warmth & light, and pot up seedlings like a pro
- Learn the secrets of "Hardening off"
- Plus here & discuss boatloads of bonus tips for healthier plants, bigger yields and earlier fruit
Whether you're a beginner or you've been veggie gardening for years & just want to level up, this workshop covers everything you need for epic homegrown tomatoes and peppers this season!

1. $25.00 - Come listen & plant and take home a 50 count cell tray.
