Nothing compares to the taste of a tomato freshly picked out of the home garden, whether it is a sweet cherry tomato that can be eaten by the handful like candy, or a juicy beefsteak, sliced or eaten like an apple. Tomatoes are relatively easy to grow and popular with gardeners everywhere.
The Journey of a Tomato is a journal for keeping track of the life of the tomato, whether if it is started from a seed or a plant purchased at a nursery, how well the plant performs, and the ultimate end result, how delicious the fruit tastes.
The journal includes information on the various types and colors of tomatoes, the different tastes ranging from acidic to bland to sweet, tips on companion planting, various problems and pests, and suggested soil amendments.
Pages are included for planning the layout of the garden, a quick reference guide for listing tomato plants and seeds ordered and purchased, and in-depth sheets for tracking the tomato's information, which help decide if it is worth planting again, and pages for taping a seed packet, sketch or picture too, with room for notes.
Journey of a Tomato is useful year-round, allows for tracking the crop at the height of summer, serves as a memory book during the cold winter, and helps plan next year's garden in the early spring and fall. Tomato enthusiasts, whether a beginning gardener or experienced horticulturist will appreciate the journal as a side companion to the tomato's journey from seed, to plant, to the amazing fruit that can only be grown at home.
