2.0 out of 5 stars Wanted gardening, got a cookbook
To me this book was a disappointment. I had hoped for in-depth gardening information. This book has very basic tomato gardening information. The majority of the book is devoted to tomato recipes.

This review is from: The Tomato Book (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent primer for the novice and an interesting read for the accomplished gardener. Over the years I've bought several copies for friends particularly when I learn that their anxious to begin a foray into the wonderful world of garden-fresh tomatoes.
I am prompted to write this review as I just had an email from a friend thanking me profusely. I had given her and her husband a copy of this book last spring, they read it and followed the advice for growing and "putty by" tomatoes and, at the completion of their first year, they are ecstatic to have many jars of canned tomatoes lining the pantry shelf...as well as a whole freezer full of frozen summer sunshine to last them through the winter.
The book is interesting, informative and accurate. If you are interested in tomatoes you can't go wrong with this one.
