Not-So-Hot Tomatoes Claire Splan

Don't settle for bland tomatoes just because you garden in a cool climate! The key to tomato-growing success is choosing the right variety for your gardening conditions. Not-So-Hot Tomatoes, Second Edition, will show you which types of tomatoes are best-suited for cool-climate conditions, which heirloom and hybrid varieties are recommended for flavor and high yield without requiring excessive heat to ripen, and tips for growing tomatoes successfully in a shorter season. From the tiniest, tastiest currant tomatoes all the way to super-sized, sensational beefsteaks, and every type of tomato in between (tomatillos too!), you'll find almost 200 varieties to look for and the seed companies that carry them. Written by award-winning garden writer Claire Splan, author of California Fruit and Vegetable Gardening and California Month-by-Month Gardening, Not-So-Hot Tomatoes is the key to making your tomato dreams come true.
