Let's grow Peppers and Tomatoes Together!
Growing Peppers and Tomatoes Together – FREE Virtual Workshop
- Thursday, June 26, 2025, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Peppers and Tomatoes are a staple crop in any vegetable garden. Both are popular, nutritious vegetables that can be included in a variety of diets and a wide range of dishes. Since they both belong to the nightshade family and have similar watering, light, and nutrient needs, gardeners can take advantage of this and grow them together to increase yield and reduce the garden workload.
Our farmers and presenters, Chad and Mandy Kirby, will discuss key steps to successfully grow these two popular vegetables, including planting, soil nutrition, plant care, and fruit harvest. Additionally, the CCE’s nutritionist will share information on the health benefits, summer recipes, and preservation tips.
The workshop is FREE, but registration is required!
