Calling All Ugly Tomatoes
Tomorrow morning you’ll find me with tomato juice dripping down my chin at the Nashville Farmers’ Market. It’s time for the Ugly Tomato Festival! In addition to a contest for the Ugliest Tomato in town, the market will also be hosting the city’s largest tomato tasting. A huge variety of locally grown heirloom tomatoes will be free to sample, and I plan to do just that.
Sadly I have no tomatoes to enter in the contest, but can’t wait to see what kind of fuglies show up. Does your garden have anything similar to the mutant shown above? If so, bring it along with you and you just may win some fab prizes! For more details, click here.

I love the way heirloom tomatoes and the heirloom looking pumpkins. Gourds in general really. And Fall is approaching! I'm excited. I love colorful leaves and pumpkin decorations. I wonder if I can make a pumpkin cake this year.
I like tomatoey things, just not sliced tomatoes – hope you had fun at the market though!
