Other than okra, tomatoes are my favorite to grow in the vegetable garden. Tomatoes are so fun to grow because there are so many wonderful varieties available to choose from, and they are fairly easy to grow. They are also very delicious, and can be used in so many different dishes.
Since I'm so very fond of growing tomatoes I wanted to find a complete resource on nothing but growing these globes of juicy goodness.
I scoured over many books at my local Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com trying to find a book that was about nothing but how to grow tomatoes.
Yes, I found a couple books that were very interesting, but they just didn't to go to the level of knowledge I desired.
I wanted to find a book that covers every aspect of growing tomatoes - from starting seeds to complete disease and pest controls, to tactics for preserving and canning tomatoes.
I'm greedy. I wanted it all!

About a year ago I received an email from a lady in which she described a book she had co-authored all about growing tomatoes.
Her name is Annette Welsford, and she asked me to give her tomato book - How to Grow Juicy Tasty Tomatoes - a read.
I was very intrigued about the book, but also very skeptical at first. I clicked over to the link she provided in the email, and read all the great information about her book.
I will also admit that I was a bit surprised at the price of it, which is $29.95 for the e-book (PDF) version.
I thought that was a bit high in price for an e-book, although I have paid more for books than that in the past.
After mulling it over for a few days I bit the bullet and decided to give a try.
Now, almost a year later, I'm so very glad that I did!
