Media Reviews:

My reading list this summer included a book called Epic Tomatoes by Craig LeHoullier. And boy am I glad I read this book.

Warning: Reading Epic Tomatoes will cause you to want to drop everything and start digging in the garden even if there is a foot of snow on the ground. It will also make you want to enlarge your garden to accommodate more tomato varieties.

I’ve been gardening for many years in South Florida where I’m convinced that gardening should be an Olympic sport. But this book has given me a whole new confidence about growing tomatoes.
