Tomatoes are undoubtedly one of the all-time favorite garden crops. They are easy to grow and requires just a little space. It can be a little intimidating though for amateur farmers/gardeners but planting and growing can be a breeze with some helpful references.

I found this interesting book  “Tomato – A Guide to the  Pleasures of Choosing, Growing and Cooking” (GAIL HARLAND SOFIA LARRINUA-CRAXTON) and had fun reading it. The book includes topic on – A tomato for every climate, Where should I grow my tomatoes?,  Preparing the soil, Seed or plantlet?, How to sow seeds, Reaping the harvest, and many more.

I will definitely grow my tomatoes using this as my reference and hope that I get the pleasures as well.
