We just got done taping some segments on planting tomatoes with Alainia Hagerty from The Tomato Baby Company. Keep in mind it is March 21st here and we still have about two weeks until the average frost free date in Memphis, so it is way to early to plant tomatoes. We planted now so that by the time the TV segment airs on April 16 it is timely. (Also on April 9 she will be talking about a whole bunch of tomato cultivars) Alainia showed how to plant them laying down just under the surface. That puts more stem in the ground which allows the stem to root all along the underground portion. Pretty neat. Hopefully there will not be a frost, but I'm not betting on it. We will have to be ready with the plastic just in case.  Alainia Hagerty with the newly planted tomatoes.
