Texas Tomato Lovers Handbook

Dewayne mater · June 23, 2011

I'm not familiar with the book or its author, but this was the subject of an article in today's Dallas Morning News, so I'm passing it along:

Bill Adams will sign copies of his book at 2 p.m. July 9 at A Real Bookstore in Fairview.
The Texas Tomato Lover’s Handbook
William D. Adams
Texas A&M UniversityPress, 2011

Sounds interesting.

I saw the article, too. Considering what I've spent trying to grow tomatoes in Texas this year, what's another $25.00?

Bill Adams was the Texas A&M Extension Service Vegetable Specialist for Harris County in the 1980's. Back when everyone was growing Big Set and Big Girl and later, Merced. I would be interested to know if the book discusses Heirloom and OP tomatoes in a favorable light. I'll try to get a copy.

Yeah it might be great, or it might have comedic value with all the standard Master Gardener faff about Merced and BHN444. I should pick up a copy.

I saw it at Book's A Million bookstore the other day. Didn't preview it as I had the kids along with me.
