We are booked for our two weeks at the Outer Banks in October...that's our event to look forward to (also going out to Seed Savers in Iowa in early Sept to give some talks at the annual tomato tasting).

Our tomatoes are at or just past peak - I've picked, tasted and saved seed from maybe 175 of the 210 types I am growing. Best tomatoes of the year - Green Giant, Lillian's Yellow Heirloom, Dester Amish, Brandywine for indeterminate types....and a whole host of dwarfs have been outstanding!
