Thomas Lewis of Sperryville is the first weekly winner in the Star-Exponent’s Big Ol’ Tomato 2008 contest. Lewis, who grew this 1-pound, 13-ounce tomato is his garden, said the secrets to his big tomatoes are good dirt, a little lime and Miracle Gro plant food. He left a sample, and they taste great too!
Want to participate? It’s easy to enter. Bring your tomato by the business office of the Star-Exponent at 471 James Madison Highway in Culpeper. The building is just behind Advance Auto Parts, and our offices are on the second floor.
Rules: The tomato will be weighed and photographed along with its grower. Each weekly winner will have his or her photo published in the paper and awarded a prize. The person who has produced the largest tomato as of Sept. 15 will take home the Big Ol’ Tomato trophy and be featured in a story.
