A complete guide to tomato cultivation from seed selection to harvest.

Nutritious, versatile, and bursting with flavor, tomatoes are a perennial favorite of both home gardeners and market farmers.

This highly accessible, succinct, and beautifully illustrated full-color handbook features:

  • A celebration of the humble tomato and its fascinating history--from an exotic curiosity to a dietary staple.
  • An inspiring collection of truly outstanding heirloom and hybrid tomato varieties, selected for attributes such as taste, yield, appearance, and hardiness.
  • Strategies for planning, preparation, and propagation, including sowing techniques suited to every grower, from amateur through professional.
  • Comprehensive guidance on cultivating your tomato crop--covering soil management, transplanting, fertilizing, mulching, watering and irrigation, pruning, staking, disease prevention, and dealing with common pests--all using organic and sustainable methods.
  • Tips for picking at the peak of freshness, extending the harvest, and processing ideas so you can enjoy that homegrown tomato flavor all winter long.
