Great book!
“Reading this book is almost like sitting down and having a conversation with the author, who is sharing his vast wealth of knowledge from years of personal experience. I know I’ll be referencing this book all season long and for years to come.”

Homegrown Tomatoes is a short book on best practices for growing tomatoes organically in your garden or in containers. It’s also a reference book with indexes for the most common diseases and pests of tomatoes. The research for tomato pests and diseases was conducted via the extension offices of Michigan State University, Cornell University, and others.

Homegrown Tomatoes will help you learn:

  • the basics on soil and compost
  • how to get your organic garden bed or containers ready for planting
  • how to start tomato seeds indoors
  • how to plant your seedlings for deeper rooting and protection from wind and weather
  • how to feed your tomatoes organically for maximum size
  • how to prune your tomatoes to produce larger fruit
  • the different ways of supporting your tomatoes
  • how to get your tomato plants through a heat wave
  • how to use companion plants to fight tomato pests
  • the different ways to preserve your tomato harvest
  • includes indexes on the most common insect pests and diseases and how to treat them organically

I hope you enjoy Homegrown Tomatoes, and find it useful. I can guarantee that if you follow the advice in this book, your tomatoes will grow like they’re on steroids – organic steroids, of course. If you decide to purchase the book, I’d really appreciate a review on Amazon. Thanks in advance for that.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly about Growing Tomatoes
“If you don’t know about tomatoes, this book is a good place to start. The author is obviously a maniac, gardening before winter is over and delighting in every garden pest, but his writing is clear and his pictures will inspire you to go out and buy tomato seeds. That’s what I did.”
