Johnna Gilljam

Johnna Gilljam is a writer for the Swedish home and garden magazine "Land," where she writes about gardening and cooking. She is 100% self-sufficient in tomatoes and has over 400 different varieties, of which she grows about 60 or 70 each year. Johnna describes how, with good planning, she can have fresh tomatoes all year round, as some varieties keep for a very long time at room temperature. According to Johnna, the taste and healthy ingredients of home-grown tomatoes, as well as the ecological benefits, are the best reasons to grow your own tomatoes.
