Omschrijving
A garden-grown tomato, sliced and laid across a grilled hamburger . . . Sweet, plump cherry tomatoes in a crisp, green salad . . . Sauce made from fresh tomatoes, ladled over a steaming bowl of pasta . . . Spicy tomato salsa . . . Savory tomato soup . . .
Is there any single vegetable as mouth-watering as the tomato? And yet, as thousands of people--tired of mushy, half-green, and tasteless tomatoes bought from supermarkets--have discovered, much more is involved in growing your own than simply putting a plant or two in the ground and expecting to harvest luscious tomatoes a few weeks later.
William D. Adams draws on more than thirty years' experience to provide a complete, step-by-step guide to success in the tomato patch. Growing good tomatoes requires a gardener's attention to a variety of factors, and Adams begins by explaining the basics of soil preparation, planting, feeding, caging, and watering. He also outlines the pros and cons of standard, hybrid, heirloom, and cherry varieties, sharing tips about old favorites and suggesting new varieties. After the tomatoes are chosen, planted, and thriving under his tutelage, Adams prepares growers for the insects, diseases, and other visitors they are likely to encounter, warning that "gardeners are not the only ones that love tomatoes." He ends by offering a few words about "tomato kin folk" (peppers, eggplants, tomatillos, and potatoes), along with a source list of selected suppliers.
Liberally sprinkled with the author's easy humor and illustrated throughout with excellent photographs, The Texas Tomato Lover's Handbook has everything you'll need to assure a bumper crop, year after year.
