In this edition of the Lincoln County Gardner, host Ross McCann talks with Master Gardener Marlene Shapiro about starting tomatoes suitable for growing along the Oregon Coast. If growing your own isn't for you, there's a large selection of tomatoes at the annual Master Gardener™ Plant Sale. It's on 5/16/2026 at the Armory in Newport, Oregon.

For more information on growing tomatoes in Oregon, refer to Oregon State University's publication Grow your own tomatoes and tomatillos. Make sure you choose early and mid-season tomatoes for growing at the coast.
