Paul, I've been anxiously awaiting a report on the winners of the tomato tasting contest. Wish I coud have attended.
I have a couple really cute "boy" tomatoes that would have been good conversation pieces. :)
It was a blind taste test, a 4th grader won, a cherry tomato grown in a pot, too cool.
Over 30 entries.
