You Say Tomato I Say Tomato : A Simple Guide to Growing Flavorful Tomatoes in Varying Climates From Seed to Pruning, to Harvesting, and Preserving EPUB

It's time to stop settling for bland, dull, pesticide-covered tomatoes and start growing your own-in just a few simple steps!

Have you ever wondered what happens to your food, say tomatoes, from the moment it's harvested to the time it arrives in a store?

Two words: human intervention - and a great deal of it.

According to the EWG, 4 pesticides were found on conventionally grown tomatoes with some samples having as many as 15 different pesticide residues.

One example of such a pesticide commonly used on tomatoes is organochlorine.

Long-term exposure to this toxic chemical can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and thyroid. It may even cause cancer!

In a perfect world, everyone would switch to organic food, but with the rising cost of food and living in general, organic food is a luxury for most.
