Default Off to the County Fair
These are my entries in the fair all in the "heirloom tomato" section. Notice it isn't called the open pollinated section (LOL and HA).

Results at a later date; judging is Monday.

The fair was a success; thirteen blues and one red in the heirloom tomato section. German Red Strawberry was awarded Best of Show in the entire vegetable division.
