Take The Great Tomato Quiz and test your tomato knowledge

Our good friend Mike the Gardener (of Mike the Gardener Enterprises) tests your knowledge about tomato facts, the history of the tomato, and tomato information. If you’ve done your homework on Tomato Dirt, you should score really well!

(And if you don't, never fear. You know where to go to get all the information you need about growing tomatoes and using them.)

The Great Tomato Quiz!

Next month, we’ll share some great gift ideas for gardeners – maybe even a few that you’d like to ask Santa to leave you under the Christmas tree.

That’s it for now. See you next time.

Until then, happy gardening!
