Weekly Gardening Action Plan

Weekly Gardening Action Plan

It's tomato time! In most of the country - even Tasmania - it's time to choose what varieties of Solanum lycopersicum you're planting this year.

Tropical Zone

You can combat this by rotating your crops and choosing wilt-resistant plants like cherry tomatoes, Roma-style tomatoes and varieties like Tropic, Patriot and Firefox: Tomato Pests and Diseases Article

Subtropical Zone

Cool Zone
