I’d love to talk tomatoes with you!

Want to know more about seed starting? Or transplanting? How about increasing productivity or deterring insects? I’ve made presentations on those topics and many others. All related to tomatoes, of course. I’ve given demos at garden clubs, retirement communities and master gardener groups. And on television.

I'm always excited about spreading the good word about the lusciousness of heirloom tomatoes! So I’d be happy to present to your group or organization. If you’re interested, please contact me at bob@chicagotomatoman.com. Thanks!
