Monday, March 16, 1 – 2 p.m., Eastsound Fire Station

— from Gwen Stamm —

Join Orcas Master Gardeners for a presentation by Danah Feldman on March 16, 2015 from 1 – 2 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Station meeting room.

Danah will share her secrets for growing AND ripening tomatoes in the NW. Danah produces enough tomatoes to eat them fresh daily during the growing season, and plenty to roast, dry, and sauce to use in abundance during the rest of the year.

Danah has been growing food organically for over 30 years on Lopez Island. Her Lopez home has a productive vegetable garden, mature orchard, over 8000 square feet of perennial flowerbeds and a wide variety of ornamental trees and shrubs, with three ponds and a greenhouse.
