ABOUT THE AUTHOR
SIMPLE CONTAINER GARDENING - TOMATOES
INTRODUCTION
Hello, my name is Sally. For the past five years I have been an author writing under many different pen names, but recently I thought it’s about time I write about something I really love, and that is growing fruit and vegetables. After all, I have been doing that for thirty years!
So here I am.
I wondered what I should write about first, and to me it was obvious. I love tomatoes, how can you ever forget that amazing taste of the first tomato from your garden each year? Most of my experiences in growing them have been in less than ideal conditions in some form of container or another so I thought I might be able to pass on some useful ideas. I also get a little riled whenever I read gardening books because the authors are often so militant and demanding. I don’t like that style; I like to encourage people to try their own ways, to experiment, to be free. You should enjoy your gardening, not feel pressured by the narrow mindedness of a gardening author.
But before we start, I think I need to fine tune your expectations and introduce some understanding of what my conditions are so that you can modify my comments to your own circumstances.
I live in Australia.
Thirty years ago, I lived in a hot and dry desert area; today I live in a cool and temperate area. I will describe these in more detail a little further on.
People from all over the world will read this book so please bear this in mind. It is no good me saying grow Tomato Variety X if that is not known to you. I will have to keep comments about varieties quite general so that a person in England can understand what I am saying just as much as someone in Australia or America. There do appear to be some commonalities between us. For example we all seem to share the idea of a cherry tomato; we all seem to have Mortgage Lifter as a variety! We don’t all have San Francisco Fog as a variety.
Throughout the book I will also mention any measurements using the metric system with the imperial system in brackets – like this… 25 degrees C(77F).
The purpose of this series of gardening books, that I am starting with this edition, is to encourage you, the reader, to grow your own produce regardless of where you live and how much room you might have for growing. Even if you grow only one dwarf tomato plant on a window sill, the taste reward will be something you remember for the rest of your life. This is all about you trying things.
So why don’t we start our journey together now and
