The Guia Pé Fértil 2024, Tomato Special Edition, is the garden companion from Sementes Vivas, the organic seed house of Idanha-a-Nova. A softcover guide written in Portuguese, to plan your garden year and give the tomato the place of honour it deserves.

An Organic and Biodynamic Garden Guide, Made in Beira Baixa

Pé Fértil is the annual guide to good organic and biodynamic farming practice that Sementes Vivas publishes for growers. It is born in Idanha-a-Nova, in the Naturtejo Geopark territory, and brings together the practical information you need to organise your garden throughout the year: the 2024 lunar calendar, sowing tables, companion and antagonistic plants, composting and biodynamic preparations.

The Tomato Takes Centre Stage in This Special Edition

Few crops spark as much passion in a garden as the tomato. That's why this edition includes a special section dedicated to it, designed for anyone who wants to harvest tomatoes that really taste of tomato, without rushing and at the earth's own pace. You'll feel the difference of having a guide made for the Portuguese garden, where every suggestion comes from practice rather than theory. 59 pages of practical information, in softcover format.

Planning the Garden with the Lunar Calendar

The lunar calendar and sowing tables help you decide what to sow and when, throughout the year. Add the companion and antagonistic plants and you'll know which neighbours the tomato enjoys in the bed and which it should keep at a distance. Composting and biodynamic preparations complete the cycle, giving back to the soil what it has given.

For Beginners and for Those Who Have Been Growing for Years

You don't need a large garden or previous experience. A pot on the balcony, a small bed or a family backyard is enough to put the guide's suggestions into practice. Experienced growers will find new ideas for companion planting and scheduling; beginners will find a clear place to start.

Why Choose This Guide

• Special section dedicated to tomatoes, from sowing to harvest
• 2024 lunar calendar and sowing tables for the whole year
• Organic and biodynamic farming, with companion plants and composting

Chef Mário Rui Ramos's Recipe, on Page 55

In the Cooking with Sementes Vivas section, Chef Mário Rui Ramos, founder of Geocakes, puts a garden on the plate: a starter for 4 that pairs chickpea hummus, tahini and lemon with crudités of white and green asparagus, carrot, fennel, red onion, cucumber and courgette. On top, the garden's edible flowers: tagetes, borage, sunflower and French marigolds. It is finished with fleur de sel, extra virgin olive oil, pepper and La Vera paprika. The guide describes it as an elegant, delicious, low-calorie garden. It is the bridge between the garden bed and the table, written by someone who cooks with Beira Baixa produce every day.

From Garden to Plate, Without Rushing

An edible flower needs attention at three moments: the right sowing, harvesting at the right point and its use in the kitchen. The guide walks you through these steps, following the logic of the lunar calendar and the organic garden, where flowers grow alongside vegetables and help balance the bed. It's a simple way to bring colour, aroma and memory to salads, starters and festive dishes.
