I'm realizing more and more it's the offline interactions with our online food blogging compatriots that makes this all worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>@Esi - only a short time left till they're all done for the year. Get as many as you can!<BR/><BR/>@Taste Memory - thank you! Just stay away from those boring supermarket red globes.<BR/><BR/>@Robert - we were very selective with what we ate. I think we bypassed 80-90% of the tomatoes presented. As Annie said, she had a list of ones to taste.<BR/><BR/>@Deborah - and to think that Gary Ibsen grows over 600 varieties himself!<BR/><BR/>@Carolyn - Yes, thank you Gary!Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-28767385410814795552008-09-18T09:51:00.000+08:002008-09-18T09:51:00.000+08:00Wow.

After all his hard work, he definitely deserves a break. He has built this into one of the most amazing events around. Just look at the photos of tomatoes on your site. To be able to see and taste so many varieties all in one spot is truly a gift.
