Now is the time to think about the fruits and flowers you can enter in the 2009 Altamont Fair. Entry forms are due in July but the vegetables and flowers need only be ready by August 9, 2009. Share your bounty with all the people coming to the Fair. Let them see the perfect bloom or that wonderful tomato. There are even categories for houseplants for those of us who prefer indoor gardening. The thrill of display is wonderful and just think you could casually decorate your home and garden with winning ribbons. Let’s do it.
