Tomatoes

There was grumbling among the readers of Garden Variety when I posted a list of tomato questions and answers earlier this week.

A lot of "non-answers," Eve said.

We are anxious to please here at Garden Variety, so I am recommending a new book I found called Tomato: A guide to the pleasures of choosing, growing and cooking.

Compiled by Gail Harland and Sofia Larrinua-Craxton for DK publishers, it is an exhaustive compendium of tomato information - from seedlings to canning. And there are pictures and details on more than 150 varieties.

And there are recipes, too, including one for tomato, peach and strawberry salad. It looks devine in the picture!

You can never have too many tomatoes. Hope this is enough information to go with them.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
