From backyards to terraces, this deliciously funny little book is also a serious guide on how to start and nurture an heirloom tomato patch.

In this book, McGrath doesn't disappoint, delivering both sound advice and plenty of laughs to help gardeners beat the heat and have a great tomato harvest!

Tomatoes are the most popular home garden vegetable crop, and heirloom tomatoes are older, open-pollinated varieties that have stood the test of time. More and more gardeners are finding heirloom vegetables to be superior in flavor, color, and disease resistance to the more common hybrid commercial varieties.

You'll also get tips on how to control pests and deal with disease. Along the way, Mike weaves in fascinating tomato lore and expert tips and techniques, all while keeping you laughing!

If you appreciate the enhanced flavor of heirloom tomatoes—or just want to grow disease-resistant hybrids—the techniques explained in this book will allow all varieties to thrive. Whether you have an entire backyard to work with or only a terrace, McGrath explains why you should grow your own tomatoes in the first place: You just can't beat the taste!

This is a book for everyone who loves to laugh, loves to eat, and loves to grow beautiful tomatoes!
