Blue ribbon tomato

My latest lunker weighed in at 3.35#. Yeah, I took it to the King Soopers deli to make it official.


On Saturday, I took it down to Denver to enter a tomato contest. I have to admit, I felt a little awkward bringing such a beast to a friendly tomato contest. A bit like spiking a volleyball on a badminton net at a family picnic, or wearing cleats and batting gloves to a game of whiffle ball, or challenging Fred to a tomato growing contest. First prize was a $100 gift card, which I promptly spent on fertilizer and shade cloth - my new secret weapons for 2017!
