We have a new competitor in our 2010 Giant Tomato Contest. Pam Knudstad brought in to the courts her first entry for weigh-in yesterday. Carmel, whose tomato was leading the contest before this weigh-in assisted the Wednesday morning tennis group in measuring Pam’s tomato.
Pam’s tomato weighed 18.6 ounces, with a girth of 14 inches and now takes the lead in this contest. Her tomato is Brandy Wine heirloom grown from seed, from one of the six tomato plants in her garden.
Pam still has to prove she has a tomato garden and she promised to do this by showing the officials photos of it. Until then, this weigh-in result is provisional.

LOL!!! Sorry, can't help myself with Carmel pulling the longface. My garden is still enveloped in the marine layer (which has returned and the lower temps), I fear that I may not be able to present a suitable entry this season. I will persevere in the face of weather hardship, but I feel somewhat like what Carmel's face reflects about my chances of winning, lol. Great job, Pam.

From Linda Gephart:
My "prize" tomato measured at 10 inches so ..... we ate it.
With the heat the last couple of days, it ripened quickly.
I do have lots of little ones that I will be happy to donate to the "salsa bowl" once they turn red.
Way to go-Pam!
Linda
