We were mentioned in Rob Kasper's column in today's Baltimore Sun food section:

"This year the local tomato crop, which normally casts its allegiance with August, has switched months, and will arrive hot and heavy in September.

Greg Flynn, an accomplished backyard tomato grower from Damascus, assured me that next month will be exceptionally bountiful. I spoke with him recently at the Mid-Atlantic Gardeners' Tomato Appreciation Gathering held in Baltimore County's Southwest Area Park. Usually this casual mid-August gathering of fans of the "love apple" draws about 80 different types of tomatoes in a competition for best-tasting tomato. This August it drew a mere 50. "This year we had a cool spring and everybody's tomatoes were late," said Cecilia Strakna, co-host of the event. Flynn, who won this year's taste competition with a Black Cherry tomato and snagged the award for largest tomato -- a 31.7-ounce pink beefsteak called Emily -- predicted that the tomato crop will arrive, with a vengeance, starting next week."
