Read this important open letter from the author, Annette Welsford: Dear Tomato Grower, If you're sick of surfing countless sites, trying to find answers to all your tomato growing problems, trying to sort out the facts from the anecdotal drivel, then this may be the most important letter you've read all year. I was fed up with reading conflicting advice, planting lots of varieties, experimenting with fertilizer and watering, and losing way too many tomatoes to disease. I was at my wits end. Then I had a stroke of good luck! I ran into a former colleague who I hadn't seen for some time. She has a Masters Degree in Plant Disease and works as a Plant Nutrition Advisor for a global company in the horticultural industry. I begged her to tell me what I was doing wrong! She came around and had a look at my plants and in 5 minutes flat she had diagnosed four simple problems! All those months of frustration ended right there. She saved me heaps of time and money with her advice. While we were talking a neighbor popped in and soon she began telling my friend about the problems she was having with her crop. So we went next door and had a look at her plants and sure enough she had a few of the same problems as well, plus a couple of extra ones. 1. We had both been using the wrong fertilizers at the wrong growth stages. 2. We were both guilty of incorrect pruning - so our tomato plants were covered in lots of small fruit and not too many big ones. 3. Neither of us had a clue really when it came to watering. 4. My plants had end rot - a common problem which is easily fixed (when you know how!). 5. Some of my neighbour's fruits were deformed and some had black spots on them. Within minutes Lucia (my former colleague) had told us how to fix these problems and what we needed to do when we planted our next crop to minimise the chances of these issues happening again. As we live in Brisbane which is a sub-tropical climate we are lucky enough to be able to plant two crops per year - so we madly wrote down everything she said so that we could try out her hints in a couple of months time with our next crop. Sure enough - my next crop was a lot healthier than I had ever been able to achieve before, and so was my neighbour's. Needless to say our surrounding neighbours and visiting friends were amazed (and a little envious I suspect) to see the transformation. They wanted to know what we had done, if they too could meet my friend. I contacted Lucia and told here she'd caused a bit of stir among tomato growers in my area! Lots of people wanted her help. However she is in great demand professionally and travels extensively with her job, talking to university researchers, professional growers, horticulturists and garden produce store owners. When she's not travelling she's writing technical articles about plant nutrition and disease control and conducting crop trials. She did agree with me that it would be great if the information that provided to the professionals could be made available to home growers. So we decided to put it all into a book. A book which is focussed totally on tomatoes. Lucia sifted through her reams and reams of technical articles and presentations and I gave her a hand putting it all together into simple language that we could all understand. We added hundreds of photos and captions to make it even better. I canvassed all my friends and neighbors to find out what they wanted to know most and made sure that the book had all the answers they needed. We then talked to growers in other countries to find out what they wanted to know and made sure that those questions were also answered. So - we've ended up with a whopping 88 page "Bible" of tomato growing tips. A book filled with an incredible amount of detail and photos on every aspect of choosing, planting and cultivating healthy tasty tomatoes.
