Dr Male knows more about each variety of he hundreds of heirloom tomatoes than most people probably know about tomatoes in general. There is some solid, though brief, info on gardening tips and tricks in the first section, especially good is her guide to saving seeds for future plating or sharing with other gardeners to preserve these special fruits. The main bulk of the book is her encyclopedic look at 100 of the better heirlooms available, each plant displayed with a beautiful full-page photograph opposite her description covering growth habits, best uses, history and taste of the fruits. I only wish there was about 5 more volumes of this wonderful book. This along with Amy Goldman's "The Heirloom Tomato" are by far my favorite tomato references in my collection of dozens of such books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Resource *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on 24 May 2013* We love tomatoes and try different varieties each year along with the ones we've found to be keepers. I rarely grow any hybrids for several reasons.There are so many varieties of heirloom and open pollinated tomatoes to choose from and most (not all) offer more diversity of flavor, size and color than the hybrids.When I find varieties that we especially like and do well in our garden, I like knowing that I can save seed and not have to purchase new seed each year to continue growing them.I purchased this book and another large book on heirloom tomatoes. While both contain many varieties I haven't tried yet, neither of them contained some that are among my favorites.One gardeners' experience regarding yield and flavor does not indicate another garden or gardener will have the same experience. Varieties grown in the same garden, by the same gardener using the same techniques, will vary from year to year due to differences in temperature, water, shade, nutrients and many other factors.Where we live, most tomatoes stop setting fruit when our temperatures get too high. Some plants survive the long hot period to set more fruit later and many do not.Those that perform well and taste great become repeaters in our garden and those that don't perform well will probably not be grown again.Ironically, my experience with some of the varieties that others have found to provide high yields has been the opposite. Some people prefer tomatoes that are sweet, some prefer acidic tomatoes and some like a balance of sweet and acid. We like variety of flavors, sizes and colors because one size does not fit all needs or purposes.If I can pick up a few tips from someone else's experience or learn of a variety that might perform well in my climate and conditions, I'm grateful.For instance, Aunt Ruby's Green tomato is always mentioned by heirloom growers. I've tried growing it 2 or 3 times now and been disappointed each time I did. The plants did not set many tomatoes for me and I always ended up regretting allotting the space for it. Cherokee Green performs much better for me. One year during the long hot spell, a single Creole tomato continued to set fruit. The other mid to large sized tomatoes just dropped blossoms.People should not expect any book written by someone else to describe what their experience will be with a plant.I enjoy reading about open pollinated and heirloom plants and since there are so many heirlooms, no single book is likely to cover all of them. I feel this book deserves a spot on my shelf, along with several others on the subject. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE TOMATO BIBLE *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on 7 May 2017* This is not a book about growing tomatoes but a very wonderful book about tomatoes with a history. Tells about flavor , productivity, growth habits,etc that has inspired many gardeners to try heirloom tomatoes that we never would have known about without this book. i have bought 2 copies just in case i ever misplace one. my favorite gardening book ever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/202799333-100-heirloom-tomatoes-for-the-american-garden](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/202799333-100-heirloom-tomatoes-for-the-american-garden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
