CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
wonderful reference book on growing tomatoes -
This is a wonderful introduction for the novice -OR- experienced gardener who wants to grow open-pollinated tomatoes and save their seed. Most major seed catalogs carry hybrid types of tomatoes- varieties that come true only if you use the hybrid seed. Many companies give you the impression that to avoid disease you need to buy that seed: hence, the way they make their money. You miss great tasting tomatoes, unusual looking ones and colors that you rarely see on fruit stands or in grocery stores. How about a green one that is ripe?
Dr. Male has studied and grown tomatoes for years, she's an expert and this book is a wealth of information. She tells you the origin of tomatoes, explains what an heirloom is, how they are classified, gives you information on Seed Savers Exchange (a wonderful organization that saved old varieties of vegetables, fruits, berries and flowers), delves into growing zones, disease problems and the list goes on....
If nothing else get this book for a great explanation on how to save seed. Just think ...when Grandma shares with you Grandma Bishop's Big, Ugly Orange tomato (BUT it tastes super-delicious and only she has the seed) you'll be able to grow and share seed with future generations.
Lastly she gives you the scoop on 100 varieties of tomatoes that you can grow out. How about Mortgage Lifter or Mule Team? You'll find out the history, her taste experience, size, maturity: in summary, everything you need to know. I use this as a wonderful reference book after having tried many types. Enjoy!

I carry this book with me! -
I have a small greenhouse and sell organic heirloom tomato plants. This book is my tomato bible! I am growing many of the plants she lists. Some I already knew about, some will be new this year, based on the information in this book. In addition, this book contains the simplest and clearest instructions I have found for saving seeds.
Her pictures - well, they are REAL! What a concept! Instead of pictures of these pristine tomatoes that were probably airbrushed, the pictures of her cherry tomatoes show a little crack here and there, and she unabashedly shows scarring and other blemishes. She shows top views, bottom views, and each picture shows a cut tomato so one can see the flesh. For a tomato grower like me, this is great information.
Her descriptions are frank, and since I was already growing some of these tomatoes myself, I know they are honest. You ever notice how the descriptions of the tomatoes in the catalogs imply that EVERY tomato is the BEST tomato? Dr. Male tells it like it is! In fact, she describes some of them having some faults, but has listed them for other reasons. (We agree - Amish Paste? Ho-hum. But historically significant and in spite of its faults, a very popular tomato.)
If you are a tomato aficionado, then you must add this book to your library! I will have a copy at my booth at the farmers market - and I bet it will be dog-eared by the end of the tomato season! I may have to buy another!
Inspiring. -
I love thumbing through this book. I buy most of my seeds from Seed Savers Exchange so it is especially fun because several of the varieties I was already growing, are featured in this book. Plus I have been inspired to try a few more. Well laid out. Beautiful book.
Will inspire you to grow tomatoes -
I received this book as a gift, after my small 4-plant tomato plot fared disastrously last summer. 1 of the 4 plants produced decent tomatoes, while the rest died unceremoniously. This year, following the recommendations in this book, my 4 plants are all doing great, and I already have little tomatoes-to-be on 3 of the 4. For that reason alone I would recommend this book. I wish some of the planting and tending suggestions were a little clearer; you have to piece some of them together for yourself. Nevertheless, just two of the express recommendations on their own have made a world of difference for me.
The photographs and descriptions of the different heirloom varieties are fantastic, and will inspire you to pick out some different and unusual tomatoes for your garden. You don't have to be a tomato fanatic to enjoy and learn from this book.
