The Tomato Show

I wasn't going to leave the house today, but my brother Mark called and said I better get in the car and go over to the tomato festival...
I was glad I did....they had seminars on tomtoes


Tomato Tastings

You got to vote for your favorite tomato





Baskets and baskets of tomatoes for sale....the last thing I need.....






Apple trees for sale...I have a BIG THING for apple trees..I am out of room here on the farm






they were so small though







now that sounded pretty good...









this little lady was so cute...in her tomato and avocado apron...she was demonstrating how to make tomato rosettes...and she was good....










there was a booth that showed you all the foods that bees are responsible for









i just loved this basket of goodies...especially that jar of canned peaches there in the back...










i have never heard of" bread and salt" tomatoes.... i am going to have to try and grow these...if it ever gets hot....not complaining













they had a beautiful zinnia garden...sure put mine to shame
...those are zinnia's, aren't they?












a california poppy..our native flower...growing between two booths out of dirt as hard as brick














this was growing out of the parking lot....see those brown California mountains
















i am regretting that i didn't get a bat house...
















some man made both the bat houses and the bluebird houses...i don't know why that makes me kinda sad...i can just see him in his garage..all alone...making bat and bird houses...but you know he likes it...















tomato parking..there's one I've never seen before....
i'm glad i went....it was old fashion and farmy....
off to make a Chicken Pie for supper tonight.....
