Synopsis:
Tomatoes are by far the most popular edible vegetable or fruit grown in gardens- US plant nurseries and seed websites stock many more varieties of tomatoes than any other vegetable or fruit. The popularity of heirloom varieties has further fueled interest. Aimed at both food-lovers and gardeners, Tomato showcases the different varieties and shows how to grow them-in pots, hanging baskets, grow bags, under glass, and outdoors-and harvest tomatoes, as well as cooking and preserving them.

My Opinion:
This is a very useful tool for anyone wanting to learn about growing their own tomatoes. This fantastic book covers every kind of tomato, including a few I'd not heard of before.
I really love all the information in this book, and how it is put together. It is very clear-cut and easy-to-read. The instructions are easy for you to follow.
I especially enjoyed the recipe I tried. It was an easier one, but I wanted to try something different. Making dressing qualified for me, since it was a first.
I loved the dressing. It was a hit, and is going to be served regularly.

Sounds like a useful book. We tried growing tomatoes last year but the blight got them.
