Tomatoes are the crown jewel of the Midwest summer garden — but most gardeners lose yield to preventable mistakes. In this focused two-hour Tomato Masterclass, you’ll learn exactly how to prune, stake, feed, and manage tomatoes for maximum production in Zone 5A/6B. We’ll cover sucker management, preventing blossom end rot, avoiding early blight, how to avoid fruit splitting, and how to support plants through Iowa’s heat, humidity, and summer storms. You’ll learn when to leave a plant alone — and when strategic intervention dramatically increases harvest. Whether you grow in raised beds, containers, or in-ground gardens, this class will give you a clear, actionable plan from flower to first frost. Walk away confident, informed, and ready to harvest more tomatoes than ever before.
Registered attendees will also receive starter tomato plants to set them on the path to success.
