Tomato tasting picnic Baltimore

Saturday August 16th from 10am until....usually around 3pm depends on the weather. This will be the third year for tomato growers and eaters to get together. Lots of tasting, voting and a BLT bar. Also the Light Rail stops right around the corner. It is the Baltimore Highlands stop.

I hope to see some other DG'ers there!

I had it marked on my calendar! Timing didn't work out (again! grr) though, but at least it's a fun reason... Saturday is our last day of "Camp Aunt Jill & Uncle Jim" with our niece & nephew. I'll be missing the annual FSK iris society picnic, too! Shoot. Why can't I be 3 places at once, with all these advances in modern science? LOL

Have a great time, and be sure to report back!!

It's been a whole week... we need a report!

:-)

Which tomatoes were your favorites? Which varieties were this year's "crowd pleasers?" Which one was just really, really weird? LOL Tell all!!
