Workshop: Growing Tomatoes, Peppersand Eggplants from Seed

WORKSHOP: GROWING PEPPERS, TOMATOES AND EGGPLANTS FROM SEED

Learn how to grow your own tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings. Sow and take home one flat of up to 48 different types of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants to nurture and plant in your garden and give to friends.

These nightshades can be difficult to start from seed, but this class teaches you everything you need to know. It is also scheduled in winter, as the peppers and eggplants can take quite a long time to get going before the weather is hospitable enough to plant them in your garden in April or May.

This class is taught by farmer Cynthia Sandberg co-founder of the World Tomato Society, and is held at 5311 Scotts Valley Dr., Scotts Valley, CA. Read speaker and class reviews for Cynthia Sandberg, here. 

ALL CLASSES ARE HELD RAIN OR SHINE AND REQUIRE ADVANCE REGISTRATION
  

February 5, 2023 (Sunday) 10:00 a.m - 4:00 p.m.  $99 plus small materials fee of $10 << Click on class date to register (gift cert holders register by emailing [email protected]).

This class is different than our very popular Tomato Seedling workshop, for the convenience of students who would like to sow all three of these nightshade family plants in one sitting. Tomatoes grown from this class will be ready to transplant in the garden in late March. Peppers and eggplants will be ready to plant in the garden in late April (they take longer to mature from seed than tomatoes do).

If the class date doesn't work for you or if the class is full, email us at [email protected] to request another workshop date or to be added to a wait list.

Thank you for another set of fantastic classes! I've watered the tomato and pepper seeds, and they are sitting on their heating mats. I'll go out and check their soil temps in a bit... As usual, your classes were very productive and a lot of fun.

The classes all look so very tempting! I love all your produce, and am a neighbor (Boulder Creek) so I swing by a lot when the sign is up to buy. I would love to grow my own and have been composting awhile so I can get my soil back in shape. Here is my question, because of all the redwood trees on my property, the soil is very acidic (so I have been told) and there is a LOT of clay. Am I going to have to do a lot of major work on the soil before it is usable?

I would hate to go and take a class, get all revved up and then have horrid soil I can not plant in to use...

The peppers look great. Everytime i try to plantmy seeds i cant get them to gow. Im not sure what im doing wrong,maybe not mixing the soil properly or maybe the rabbits eat them before i get a chance to see them. so i usualy buy from the grocerystore.

Cynthia,
I love starting my pepper plants from seed. The plants and colorful peppers are a must in our garden. Here in Michigan, starting our seeds in the house give us hope for the following growing season. My daughter likes flowers, and we mix sweet peas and nasturtiums with the veggies.I just roasted a cooler full of peppers from last season to eat and freeze.
I love your website. Bonnie
