Original, comprehensive, illustrated, exceptionally 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, The Tomato Grower's Handbook by tomato growing expert Holly Farrell fully lives up to the promise of its subtitle 'Everything you need to know, from seed to harvest and beyond'.

Midwest Book Review

In this delightful new book, garden writer and horticulturist Farrell opens a universe of possibilities for cultivating robust fruit-bearing plants in pots from pits that would otherwise be cast into the compost. Smartly laid out and replete with colorful photos and strategically organized bullet points, the book guides the average grower to success by means of simple steps . . . The book is accessible to even the most inexperienced gardener. All that is needed is a little patience.
