Hey Rodger,
When will you need help picking the toms. I just started growing OP toms this year and have not had a bumper crop yet ( they have just gotten started setting lots of fruit this week). I might be able to come early Friday. I would love to come and help. Let me know! Tim |

Tim, I will be picking tomatoes , doing the labeling and setting up tables on Saturday morning. If you can make it I will be at the park around 11:00am and starting around 0800am at the house picking and labeling. Send me a e-mail if you would like to come out and help. Rodger

Hi, Rodger.
I'm really looking forward to the festival Sat. You had advised me before to be at the park 11ish to help set up, so that's my plan. But reading the rest of the letters, etc. I can come earlier to help pick and label if you'd like. Just let me know. |

Hi Roger,
I really enjoyed the tasting, I think my favorite tom was dr carolyns cherry, so as soon as I got home I started fermenting some seeds for next year. Your garden is very impressive! I don't know how you find time to keep up with all that you grow. Just wish I had more time to talk to you, maybe next year. I hope to be there next year if you decide to do it again. Thanks, Tim |

So, is it possible to compile the full list of tomatoes represented?
Also, some notes on how some of them tasted - people's favorites, any disappointments???
