  100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden
Review created: 02/29/08

I thought it was a very informative book. I liked the way it gave helpful information on selecting seed for you area to planting, fertlizing and staking. I especially enjoyed the color photos so you could see what the tomatoes would look like, complete with splits, dings and scabs. There was no false advertizing in those photos! I also liked that it included a excellent discription including production rates, too bad it was only for 100 tomatoes, I would like to see volumn two.
The only thing I disliked about the book was its price. I have been searching for this book for a year on Ebay and ABE books and have been shocked at what it goes for, up to $50.00! I was glad to finally find one in my price range.
I have been growing and selling Heirloom tomatoes for years and when I saw it I knew I would enjoy it and I have!

The book was exactly as described and the content was exactly what I was looking for. I had been looking for a detailed description of the heirloom tomatoes and this book has it. I was so happy to find this book.

Pros:
Wonderful photos, useful information

Cons:
Only 100 tomatoes featured

I felt the need to write a new epinion today but couldn't think of a product or topic to spark my writing skills. So I decided to browse the ole epinions.com website and see what was new. Low and behold my favorite vegetable gardening book was featured as part of the lawn and garden section! Joy of joys!! I've written about many things that interest me here on epinions and this book is tops on that list. First let me tell you a little bit about how I learned about heirloom tomatoes and about the author of "100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden", Dr. Carolyn Male. Last spring I went...

  An Excellent Guide to Heirloom Tomatoes

Pros:
Pictures, background info, everything really.

Cons:
None

By far the most popular vegetable--er, fruit--that North Americans grow in their home gardens is the once scorned tomato. Nowadays, the majority of the tomatoes grown are red, hybrid and fairly disease and crack resistant varieties. Most are, without a doubt, excellent tasting, much better than the "tomatoes" found in the local supermarket--even during prime tomato season--yet for those who have grown and enjoyed heirloom tomatoes, even these hybrids (and a few open-pollinated varieties) are second rate. I'll admit, I have yet to grow more than one heirloom varieties--something will change...
