Carrots Love Tomatoes has quickly become one of my top recommended gardening reference guides. First published in 1975, this updated 50th anniversary edition is a classic for gardeners. It is filled with tried and true wisdom when it comes to companion planting. A simple flip through the alphabetical listing allows a gardener to find specific plant information and a guide to what will be its best pest-repelling companion and which plants thrive with others.

Additionally there are chapters about herbs, fruits and trees and most importantly soil health and composting.

Great for beginners or experienced gardeners alike. This is an indispensable gardening reference book for those who want to garden using more natural pest control and less fertilizers.

If you are a gardener, new or experienced, this book is amazing! It is a wonderful reference guide that should be in ever gardeners collection.

It is a great guide to use when planning a garden or adding something new into your garden. The way that it is laid out it is easy to find a specific plan and then to read about that plant. It will break down the other plants it loves to be around as well as the plants it should not be near in your garden. This can be really helpful when planning your garden and in making sure that your plants are benefiting each other instead of working against each other!

I loved the illustrations in this version as well!

This book dives deep into the practice of companion planting in gardening. I know the basic of gardening and using host flowers for some vegetables (ex: nasturtiums planted next to squash can keep aphids and other pests at bay), but this book dives into companions for nearly every plant you can think of to add to your garden, and explains why it works. The way I would use this book is that of a reference guide, rather than a book to read cover to cover, although you certainly could if you wish!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy!

Decent reference book for gardeners! I know nothing about gardening, which was why I wanted to read this. I learned a lot and it is a very thorough guide, organized by type of plant (vegetables, fruit, herbs, etc).

"Carrots Love Tomatoes" is an easy and enjoyable read, perfect for both expert gardeners and beginners. I love how it's laid out in alphabetical order, making it super convenient to jump right to the plants you're interested in. This book will be a huge help when planning and planting in the garden. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this book is a great resource to have on hand!

Carrots love Tomatoes felt like reading a grandmothers journal about gardening.

It is a lovely book jammed with information about every kind of green you can imagine.

I learned so incredibly much about the things I can grow, the things I already grow, and how to be successful while doing so.

The illustrations are beautiful, handmade with so much detail, and I was truly in awe the whole time.

A huge thanks to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the lovely opportunity to read this book.
And thank you, Louise Riotte, for making this amazing piece.

Great read for any gardener of any level! I learned quite a bit and have a better idea of how I want to do my own garden next year to make it thrive more.
