Totally Terrific Tomato Festival

Mods - if this is better placed in another section please do move it!
The Totally Terrific Tomato Festival began yesterday, this time in its new home of the Irish National Botanic Gardens. This was my first year attending, and my first year entering the competition! Not my first year to win anything, maybe next year

There were two lectures and a book launch yesterday, as well as the competition winner announcements. The variety exhibit will remain in the Botanic Gardens for 2 weeks, and there will be tomato cookery classes for children. They didn't have a tomato tasting section, but they hope to have one next year.

Can't get any photos to uploaded today for some reason, but there are loads at the links below and by searching the hashtag #tttomfest18 on social media sites.
