Gretchen's Garden & Greenhouse - 16 August 2024 - Report on Tomatoes & Voles

Today, Gretchen shares her "new" favorite Roma tomatoes, which she grew from seeds obtained from Burpee. They are called Super Sauce and are flavorful and very large compared to other Roma tomatoes we've grown. Al provides a follow-up report of the Vole problem discussed last week and Gretchen closes the show by sharing something new (for us), freeze-drying bananas.

My tomatoes, especially my beefsteaks, are under attack by bugs this year in spite of spraying past daily with neem oil. It's still in the experimental stage, however my girlfriend, also a horticulturist, recommended using pantyhose, tying them around the developing green tomatoes. We'll see how that works out
