The $64 Tomato by William Alexander will hold you to the page. His humor and insights into his gardening and small farm operation easily connects the reader to the author's experiences. Gardeners fight the good fight with deer, groundhogs and squirrels. The fight continues on other fronts with insects and diseases. We can so identify with his trials and love of gardening. And more importantly, his book inspires us all and reminds us why we grow the foods we are love even though the market produce is just down the road.
