Ugly Tomato Contest?!

Part of Frager’s 85th Anniversary Celebration

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:
Bring us your biggest, ugliest and heaviest homegrown tomatoes. $85 Gift Certificates will be awarded in addition to the tomato most resembling our owner Mr. Ed.

STREET ADDRESS:
Frager’s Hardware on Capitol Hill. 1115 Pennsylvania Avenue SE.

Sadly, all of my tomatoes were perfectly lovely, and, well, delicious. But if you’ve got ugly tomatoes, take ’em to Frager’s, you could come up with some cash for next year’s crop.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
