The 2nd Annual Fibernetics Grow-Op is over and we have a winner! Winners actually. The “Two Blondes” Megan and Laurie combined to grow their Tomato plants, which they named “Tom”, to an extraordinary height and health, but what put them over the top was their presentation. The bow tie sealed the deal apparently.

Of course their selection wasn’t without controversy as there were quiet complaints that the competition was “rigged”, and how having the best decorated pot “wasn’t in the rules,” and how next year they would “just go to a garden centre and buy a full grown plant” because “that’s not in the rules either!”

In other words, the folks around here take this competition stuff seriously. Despite the apparent need for a lawyer vetted rule book, all in all the Grow-Op was an unqualified success and now we have two full vegetable gardens planted and, if the rabbits and the deer don’t get them, a crop of beans, onions, tomatoes, peppers and lettuce will be available all summer long for everyone here to munch on.

So, congrats to Laurie and Megan on a job well done. And of course Tom – the real star of the show.
