Resh Gala is the owner and founder of Hundred Tomatoes. Her intensive planting methods have garnered her a loyal social media following and she was named a 2020 Gardener of the Year by Burpee Home Gardens. She also creates YouTube videos for Kellogg Garden Organics.

Resh only started gardening in 2016, when she killed two tomato plants on her patio. That failure led her to learn everything she could about gardening. In 2017, she built raised beds and filled them with top soil...that turned out to be terrible and once again, nothing grew. By 2018, she replaced a lot of her soil with compost and then finally had a successful harvest.

She now builds and installs kitchen gardens for people in central New Jersey and coaches people all over the US in growing vegetable gardens. With tomato planting season upon us, I sat down with Resh to learn more about what we need to know to grow a great crop of tomatoes.

In this episode, we talk about when to plant tomatoes, how to prune tomatoes, how and when to fertilize them, and many other things you need to know about growing this popular garden vegetable!
