the first short one is on Mexico Midget.
Two videos discussing the problem of mixed up varieties (or, tomatoes of the same name giving different results from different seed sources). the first short one is on Mexico Midget. This starts as me doing a self recorded video tomato tasting, but I then settled on Nepal - and we had a discussion about how two tomatoes called Nepal (grown by someone else, and me) can taste so different. Well, after watching these two videos I guess it can't be said that I don't have opinions on things! I hoped you enjoyed these little snippets from our event. Starting tomorrow, it is back to the depressing reality that is this tomato growing experience in my baked, diseased Raleigh garden!

First - people have been asking for the results of the three Tomatopalooza contests....here are the results. Largest Tomato: Georgia Streak 1.8 lbs (Ira from Southern Seed Exchange) Best Tasting: Black Cherry Most Unusual: Garden Peach I've asked Lori to see if she can provide a flavor top 10 list, so we can see what came close - if she has it available, I will post it in a future blog. So, here are the next set of video clips - these are the three introductory "speeches" we gave to ensure everyone was oriented to the process this year (it was quite a bit different from previous years) - and also to give the tomato slicers time to slice! So, in order of our "speeches" - starting with long-winded me: And here is Lee... And here is Lori. This will give you all an idea on how we organized the event this year....and an idea on why it sent so smoothly! (lots of planning up front...)
Sue and I each did a stroll around the tables and "tomato and people watched" for a bit prior to the start of the event. Here are those two video clips. There is an edit issue in this one - from 1:30 on, it repeats that previous half minute or so....that clip gave me editing fits, since I was pulling bits out for other clips. Sorry! If you want to know who anybody is, or what tomatoes you are looking at, post a comment and we will see what we can do (mention which video, at which time)
Enjoy! More to come, including the Tomatopalooza event opening comments from Lee, Lori and me - a discussion about variable Mexico Midgets, and an informal tasting - focusing on Nepal. |
