The Great Tomato Festival
At Brynmawr we are convinced of the great superiority of heritage varieties of fruit and vegetables, and in the spirit of encouraging others to grow them we are issuing a challenge to all-comers for the end of summer next year. We’re announcing the challenge now, to give all of us time to prepare our secret weapons, the tomatoes.
So gather your seed and prepare your soil for the inaugural Festival of Tomatoes, with picnic and competitions, to be held here at Brynmawr on
Sunday April 16, 2006.
Classes will include
Best tasting cherry type tomato
Best-tasting slicing tomato
Best homemade tomato sauce
Best homemade chutney
Most peculiar looking tomato
Largest tomato
The tomato that flies the farthest
The heaviest tomato
The ugliest tomato
Best-dressed tomato
The best picnic
Everyone will be involved in the judging, and there will be a seed saving demonstration to help us make the most of our harvest.
There will also be a talk on the slow food movement.
Come and join us for a great day and a cut-throat comp!
