Has anyone ever been to the Totally Tomato Show in West Sussex? It's on
the
weekend of 3rd & 4th Sept.

For those that don't know West Dean Gardens are just S. of Singleton about 5
mls N. of Chichester on the A286 Milford to Chichester road..... (below

CHILLI FIESTA
If you like then come into the garden! 200-plus chillies, 60-plus
stallholders, fiery food tastings, Latin rhythms and dancing make this the
UK's premier gathering for all aficionados of nature's napalm!

3 & 4 September 2005
TOTALLY TOMATO SHOW
A foodie's heaven. 150-plus varieties of tomato, growing demonstrations,
tips and tastings, guided tours and lots of associated stallholders
celebrate the ubiquitous tomato.

15 & 16 October 2005
APPLE AFFAIR
Rosy apples, autumn colour and local cider make for a mellow final day in
the garden. Apple tastings, food, games and creative workshops make this a
great weekend for the kids. Also, don't miss the annual opening of West
Dean house.
