How To Grow Tomatoes
Picture it…
It’s the spring of 1989. We’ve just bought our first home and I have room to plant a garden!! I’ve got my hands in the soil, happily planting my first tomato plants ever. The smell of fresh-cut grass fills the air. The sun warms my face.
This is a perfect day. And I have no doubt on this beautiful Saturday that in just a few weeks I will be able to walk to my garden and pick a yummy tomato whenever I want to.
You can just about imagine what I was thinking about that day…
Plucking a ripe tomato from the vine, biting into it like an apple, and letting the juices dribble down my chin. Grilled hamburgers topped with perfect tomato slices. The oohs and aaahs from friends and neighbors who are impressed (and maybe a little envious) of my tomato garden.
But I got a little ahead of myself. Because…
Or maybe you’ve never tried growing tomatoes before. Tell you what, if you do it blindly then I can almost guarantee you’ll end up with the same results as I did with my first garden.
You see, lots of beginning tomato growers think that if you can grow something else – like sweet corn or pumpkins – then growing tomatoes should be a snap.
It’s not. And as I discovered 21 years ago, just because you know how to grow veggies doesn’t mean you can grow tomatoes, too… at least not without a little help!
Back then there weren’t many resources available. I had to do my research in the library. But I kept researching, kept experimenting, and every year my tomatoes came out a little better than the year before.
I even teach tomato-growing classes locally –many of my students have been growing tomatoes for many years and can’t believe it when they learn how simple it is to protect their tomatoes from disease WITHOUT USING CHEMICALS.
- Even if the next growing season is different than previous years…
- Even if you grow different varieties every year…
- Even if you move across the country to a completely different climate…
- Even if you’re an absolute beginner…
- Even if you’ve had poor results in the past…
But don’t take my word for it — see what others have said about this amazing little guide:
“Some people are born with the knack of knowing how to grow things. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of them. My husband has always been the tomato grower in our family while I sat by the sidelines wondering how he did it. With this ebook, The Beginner’s Guide to Growing Great Tomatoes, I now feel that I could actually grow my own tomatoes (without my husband’s help) and be successful at it. I had no idea that there was so much to know about tomatoes and how to grow them. Just reading about all of the different varieties was enlightening.
The ebook is very easy to read and written in a conversational manner. It is nicely formatted and extremely well organized….From the information you need to know before even trying to grow tomatoes all the way to step-by-step instructions for putting your tomato plants or seeds in the ground, this truly is an all-in-one guide.
If you’ve always wanted to grow your own tomatoes or if you already do but need help, this guide will show you how to be successful.”

“I’ve bought a few different books on growing tomatoes over the years, but none of them had so much helpful information. And it was written in a way that was easy to understand. Thank you guys so much!”

“My husband fancies himself a green thumb, but I think it’s all mainly in his head. I gave him a copy of the tomato growing guide and gave it to him. It took me a while to convince him to read it, but he finally did.
When I asked what he thought, he said it was ‘pretty good’. Holy cow! that’s one of the top compliments my husband ever gives, so the guide has to be amazing. Now can you get him to tell me that my lasagna is that good?”

“Last year was the first time I ever grew tomatoes and things didn’t work out so well. No matter what I did I just couldn’t get them to produce good tomatoes. Since reading your book I now know exactly what I did wrong (planted my tomatoes at the wrong time) and won’t ever again make the same mistakes. Keep up the great work.”
