Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "Frank Hyman's four-plus decades of growing tomatoes is a priceless tutorial in what to do, and what not to do. Moreover, the Ripe Tomato Revolution will inspire you to not only grow tomatoes but be creative in the entire process with tips and DIY inspiration from cover to cover. Go forth and grow tomatoes... and be sure to have this book by your side when you do!"-- Joe Lamp'l, creator and host: Growing a Greener World, founder of joegardener.com, The Online Garden Review Quotes: "Frank Hyman's Ripe Tomato Revolution is a master class in growing tomatoes smarter, not harder, brilliantly practical and refreshingly rebellious. His innovative tomato houses, mobile compost bins, and rain-harvesting systems challenge conventional wisdom with creative solutions that actually work. At the same time, his garden humor and down-to-earth approach make seasoned gardeners nod and beginners feel genuinely confident." -- Shawna Coronado, author and garden lifestyle advocate Review Quotes: "Frank Hyman's latest book is a fresh, inspiring guide to growing exceptional tomatoes with confidence and success. Packed with practical, easy-to-apply techniques, solid horticultural science, and a healthy dose of humor, it's a must-read for gardeners of every skill level. Blending experience and enthusiasm, this book helps readers cultivate abundant, flavorful harvests, one tomato at a time!"-- Brie Arthur, author & horticulturist Review Quotes: "If you have a question about growing tomatoes, I can pretty much guarantee that Frank answers it in this book. And in addition to all the how-to information (which is comprehensive and accurate) you'll learn how to mimic the tomato's native habitat (so it feels at home!), why it IS safe to use pressure treated lumber in a raised bed (who knew?), and what the difference is between an unripe tomato and a green-ripe tomato just perfect for frying. Frank is not only an accomplished grower, but also a horticultural myth-buster who combines humor with science, which makes for excellent reading. This is by far the best tomato-growing book I have ever read." -- Ellen Zachos, author of How to Forage for Wild Foods Without Dying and Mythic Plants Review Quotes: "Whether you say to-may-to or to-mah-to, Frank Hyman's in-depth guide to growing tomatoes is absolutely indispensable and utterly captivating."-- Nevin Martell, author of How to Eat Foraged Food without Dying and The Founding Farmers Cookbook Review Quotes: "It's like Frank Hyman is sharing tomato wisdom over the garden fence in this colorful, friendly book. With lots of pictures for the do-it-yourselfer and tomato-growing options for many scenarios, even the seasoned tomato grower can find hacks to get more from their tomato patch."---- Steven Biggs, host of the Food, Garden, Life podcast and website Review Quotes: "That is the best book on tomatoes for me...I have been gardening for 58 years and was really impressed with the book."-- Joan Airey, Agripost Publisher Marketing: Ahh, tomatoes!
