Extension
For five years, the Colorado State University Extension Master Gardeners in Larimer County conducted variety trials to determine which tomato and sweet pepper varieties perform best in Northern Colorado.
Jon Weiss, the Master Gardener Volunteer coordinating the project, is passionate about seeds and gardening. “We have a short growing season in Larimer County, and that creates challenges for backyard gardeners,” said Weiss. “I want to see backyard gardeners have success.”
