Growing tomatoes is one of the great summer interests of many gardeners. They not only grow the standard red fruits but branch out into varieties with different colours, shapes, sizes, flavours and textures. Each brings its own individual character to the cooking pot or the salad bowl.

On this page we highlight both printed books and downloadable electronic books (e-books) to help you, or your gardener relative or friend, to develop further the skills of tomato cultivation both outdoors and in the greenhouse or polytunnel.
