Homegrown Tomato Festival -- Charlotte, NC

Ken B · August 6, 2017

Belated report = it was good, nice turnout for (they estimated 600+ folks). Had some first-time hiccups, like the varieties not always being correctly labeled and displayed, and the seed swap not getting much publicity, but there were lots to eat, and folks seemed to have fun.

Craig pulled off giving a challenging talk, doing it outside next to a street with busy traffic! Hope I never have to do that.

I was talking with a farmer there about tomato varieties, and halfway through the conversation she said, wait, are you the famous guy? At which I laughed and said, no, you're probably thinking of Craig...
