Got Tasty Tomatoes?

Homegrown tomatoes may very well be the number one reason people garden at all. It's all about the taste. Store bought tomatoes are so inferior that I won't even spend writing energy thinking of adjectives to describe them. How about yucky and we'll call it good.
 
'Big Boy' and 'Black Krim'
An experienced, discerning panel of tomato judges at a tomato judging event may know a bit more what constitutes a winning taste in a tomato (we'd all like to be at that table). They will prove it this Saturday, August 25 at the 2018 Taste of Tomato Event in Boulder from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. It will take place at the Growing Gardens Barn, located at 1630 Hawthorne Avenue. Presented by Harlequin's Gardens and the Boulder County Extension office, it's loads of fun to enter your own tomatoes for judging or to learn more about successfully growing and saving seeds for next year's delicious crop. Read all the details at this link - Taste of Tomato.


Also, check out Carol O'Meara's description of this annual event - "Attack of the Juicy Tomatoes hit Boulder with Taste of Tomato." She knows how to use all the words to describe homegrown tomato taste, plus she shares names of her favorite tomatoes.
