Louise C's Garden
I thought I would enter a photo of my garden. Maybe there is a prize for the most beautiful garden. I like to have flowers to look at while waiting for the tomatoes!

Contest Rules
Loose Rules (Original draft by Karl Lentz and have been modified many times)---------------------Here are the not so well thought out rules for the tomato growing contest.
1. The contestants as a whole will serve as the judges and will need a majority decision if a judgment needs to be rendered.
2. Rules can be changed by majority decision of the judges.
3. Tomatoes submitted for consideration must be grown by you on your own vines.
4. Greatest individual weight will be the deciding factor, not **circumference or size, in determining the winner.
5. No "doctoring" allowed. This means no injecting or implanting materials to falsely increase the weight or size of the tomato.
6. Digital photos are the suggested and encouraged method of substantiating the progress of your tomatoes. Submit all photos to Zack for publication.
7. Tomatoes become candidates for judging when you submit them in person, to the majority group for official weigh in.
8. Official scale will be provided by anyone who has the most accurate scale. **Circumference will be used if competing tomatoes have such similar weight that the scale can not establish the winner.
9. Weigh-in will be on Saturdays at the Millennium Sports Club tennis courts, at around 11:30 AM after Saturday High Intensity Tennis. The officials conducting the weigh-in are normally the members of this tennis group. Please notify the competition director at least 3 days in advance if you are bringing a tomato for official weigh in.
