Fruitful Days for Planting Tomatoes.


Happy Tommy Tomato character illlustration
June is Tomato Time!

Anyone who cooks, or eats knows tomatoes are one of the best fruits on the planet. Right off the vine, a delicious pleasure like no other. Start growing some love apples now, and there will be smiles all around.

Having your own garden or potted plants will yield the most joy, and certainly the best taste. Now is the time. The risk of frost has passed. As we move in to June’s golden days for planting tomatoes, you have a little time left to buy your plants or seeds and get them growing. How about now?

There is all kind of helpful advice on the web for growing perfect tomatoes, but your local garden center is a friendly place to meet your neighborhood experts. Going to the garden center is a wonderful, relaxing event that gets your juices flowing for all things natural, and will feed your soul for months to come. Depending on the size of your garden, it’s also a great opportunity to share your harvest with others. I created Tommy Tomato to celebrate this happy season. Say hello...and get planting.
