Research-based gardening information for Durham County, NC
By Kathryn Hamilton, NC State Extension Master GardenerSM volunteer of Durham County
Among the markers for our “Tomatoes on Trial” project at Briggs was the first cultivar to ripen. We found these on July 6, two days after Master Gardener volunteer Eric Wiebe tasted the first “trial tomato,” grown in his garden. To read about Eric’s experience and learn which tomato was the first to ripen at Briggs, jump to Chapter Two in our “Tomatoes on Trial” blog.

What’s so interesting? Master Gardener volunteer Lalitree Darnielle is taking notes for “Tomatoes on Trial,” Durham County’s participation in the statewide experiment to test three tomatoes created by NC State against the very popular heirloom ‘Cherokee Purple.’ Visit our new section at https://durhammastergardeners.com/tomatoes-on-trial-the-2024-tomato-project/. New entries will appear at the top of the page.
Join us Saturday mornings between 8 and 10, at Briggs Avenue Community Garden to learn more, and when they are in harvest, to sample the goods.
