We highly recommend Sandra Pullman’s book, “The Secrets of Growing Tomatoes in Cool/Temperate Areas”.
This book is written by a qualified horticulturist from the University of Melbourne-Burnley College for the home gardener. Through trial and error and studying, Sandra has learned the secrets of growing tomatoes. By buying the ebook you will learn about the most important aspect of growing tomatoes – understanding the temperature requirements of the soil and air temperatures in cool and temperate zones.
This ebook is written clearly and has a wonderful summary of the main points at the end of each chapter. It also has an informative page on why fruit does not develop or fall off. Nothing is more devastating than no fruit or seeing them fall off.
Charlie Carp recommends this ebook because it is written clearly and simply, covers the different varieties available, germinating seeds, pests and diseases. The information is based on the latest horticultural practises.
