Sad, sorry sod that I am, I keep a spreadsheet of all my successes since I started showing in 1996. Over the years I can now see those veg that I've had most successes with, notably:
Cabbages 26 wins
Parsnips 25 wins
Long carrots 24 wins
Potatoes 23 wins
Beetroot 22 wins
Tomatoes 16 wins
Cucumbers 15 wins
Marrows 15 wins
However, it also shows some glaring failures on my veg showing CV:
Shallots 7 wins
Runner beans 6 wins
Caulis 1 win
Celery 0 wins
Large onions 0 wins
I've decided that next year I really have to rectify this situation if possible so I'm going all out to try and improve my record on caulis and celery in particular. To do this I'm going to grow far less cabbages as they take up far too much room for the trouble involved. I shall also be growing less 'novelty' veg such as peppers, aubergines, chard and okra and really concentrating on the 'serious' show veg.....onions/leeks/spuds/carrots/parsnips/tomatoes/cucumbers
