Tomato Contest 2009 is well underway

This years tomato contest attracted eleven participants. We are well into the growing season and I have heard from some contestants that their plants are now bearing fruits. It won't be long and we will start doing our weigh-ins.

Carmel, who has won this contest the last two years is not allowed to compete this year in accordance with our contest rules. She says she is still growing tomatoes to see if she can still come up with the biggest fruit just for the heck of it.

The participants this year are:

Zack (that's me)
Karl
Dave
Larry
Linda
Darrick
Raf
Cyp
Rudy
Richey
Carole

I have four competition plants this year, two Big Zac and two Delicious all being grown in containers (half wine barrels). The plants were grown from seeds from last year's harvest.
