Kira lives for tomatoes: gardening for beginners and the science behind flavor.

Episode Description from the Publisher

Kira is a regular lady from the Seacoast of New Hampshire who loves fresh, local produce and wants to get into varsity level growing, backyard tomatoes. We discuss low light levels in the home that are great for house plants but not quite enough for starting vegetable transplants, we try a de-goatified goat cheese, and develop a sensory panel activity to determine if farmers' market attendees can tell the difference between tomatoes that were picked green and allowed to ripen on the counter versus picked red and allowed to ripen on the vine.    Music: With the Homies - Sarah the Illstrumentalist; Patinia - Ryan James Carr
