Had great day at Gale Woods weigh off despite lack of sleep. Finished 5th in Minnesota Tomato Challenge with a 2.36 pound tomato from a 5.63 Karkos seed. I brought another tomato weighing over a pound that might have won prettiest tomato award if it was offered from the same plant. I can't complain for being a first year grower. I hope to have a pumpkin/squash to bring next year.
Almost didn't go to weigh off because of unexpected road construction detour and I thought my directions were no good at that point. Followed detour and it put us onto the road to Gale Woods Farm.
Met Bill Foss, Larry Hill, Chris Qualley, Hobbit, and Sawjaws. Received some tomato seeds from Larry Hill. I hope to duplicate his effort of 3 6 pound tomatoes from his seed next year. Bill Foss was giving new growers his dvd on growing a giant pumpkin.
Larry Hill and Chris Brown looked like they were having a competition for most things to be weighed at a weighoff. There were giant carrots, rutabaga, cucumber, and marrow in addition to the regular GPC categories.
