Save the Date! TomatoFest 2019 is slated for Saturday, August 24th. Kevin will be concentrating on winners from previous years with only a few new types to try. We would love our gardeners to bring some of your own tomatoes, both oddballs and winners, to this year’s taste-off. Here is what Keven will be planting at the garden (and at home):
