Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening Podcast, Kevin Aspiratu here. We are joined

again by Scott Dagg. He's the owner and producer of Tomato Mania, amazing name. It's the

world's largest tomato seedling sale. And, you know, yesterday Scott, we did talk a lot

about tomato seedlings. We're supposed to talk today about watering and feeding tomatoes,
