Growing tomatoes. http://fixinsupper.com/whereve-i-been-growing-tomatoes/ http://fixinsupper.com/whereve-i-been-growing-tomatoes/#comments Fri, 08 Aug 2008 22:58:15 +0000 lcreekmo http://fixinsupper.wordpress.com/?p=688 The Tomato Art Fest launches tonight with the Tomato Art Show preview party. Ashby and I will be there! Then, it’s up at a very early hour in the a.m. to mark off the vendor booth spots, and to get ready for the festival!

I’ve spend an inordinate amount of time in the past month inviting, accepting applications from, confirming and rejecting vendors for the festival. We had a huge number of applicants this year, overwhelming! My big plan for next year: Start much, much earlier!

Come on out to 5 Points in East Nashville tomorrow and join the fun. Lots of events, food, fun for the whole family.

P.S. I’ve been growing lots and lots of tomatoes in my garden, as well. Mostly through the time-honed practice of benign neglect. The ones I can stop the dog from eating, we’re really going to enjoy for the next few weeks.

Just 5 years old, the festival became everyone’s favorite event right after it started. It’s a little funky, fairly unpredictable, and very, very East Nashville. I mean, there’s a contest where you can dress a tomato.

Check out all the details for this fun day and join us on Saturday, Aug. 9!
