How can partially burned wood help the soil and your plants? We'll look at the possible benefits of biochar on today's Zesty Garden. It’s also tomato day as we talk about how to preserve tomatoes, or consider roasting and freezing them on Petals and Prose. There’s also a recipe for a delicious tomato pie. But first, learn about the results of a small fruit taste panel. Which berries were voted the most flavorful?
