The annual tomato extravaganza takes place at West Dean Gardens on 4–5th September. It guarantees handy hints and top growing tips for professional and amateur gardeners alike. More than 150 varieties of tomatoes will be on show along with cookery demos, tastings, tomato-related produce for sale. As usual, tomato growers will have the chance to enter their produce in the Tastiest Tomato Competition, and, new for this year, the Heaviest Tomato Competition (run in conjunction with the British Tomato Growers’ Association). The competitions are open to anyone and once again the Totally Tomato Show lays down the gauntlet – can the amateur gardeners beat the professionals at their own game? For more information please phone 01243 818210 or visit the West Dean Website.
