Mid-West Tomato Fest 2011 results
 

In the Nebraska area this has been a down year for tomato harvest. We still had plenty of varieties to sample and our small core of yearly participants and a few new faces gathered on a beautiful day and "talked tomato". These were the varieties we were able to grow and sample and discuss (and cuss a little). Of the list there were no real spitters for the first time in many years.

PaulF: Where could I get seeds for G.G's Yellow Belgian? Or the plant, if seeds are not available? I'd love to try it out for myself.

Paul,

Great looking event! Glad everything went well for you.

Hastings: The seeds for G.G.'s came from the SSE member catalogue. I used all the seeds sent to me and I will reoffer and when I save the seeds this year I will send some to you.

That would be great! When they're ready, just let me know what you want me to do!
