Why Brian Lagerstrom Chose These 4 Tomato Varieties

Brian Lagerstrom walks through his selection of four tomato varieties — Sungold, Beefsteak, Black Prince, and Better Boy — chosen specifically for high yield, disease resistance, and low-maintenance care for a remote garden plot in rural Illinois. He also demonstrates how to start tomato seeds indoors and pot up seedlings for the next growth stage.
