Tomatomania, Southern California’s harbinger of spring gardening for 30 years, had a brutal season in 2020, when most of its venues were closed due to COVID-19. But it’s gearing up again, with a few tweaks, ready to start its traveling seedling show featuring more than 200 tomato varieties and 100 pepper varieties Feb. 26.
The good news: Gardeners will have more time to browse its offerings at each pop-up stop. The not-so-good news: There will be far fewer venues to visit, said owner Scott Daigre. In past years, Tomatomania moved its three- or 10-day sales events to about a dozen venues from Ventura County to San Diego County, offering demonstrations, workshops, recipes and camaraderie.
