I have been growing and showing veg since 1996, a brilliant hobby contrary to popular belief and the views of my mates who think I’m a big poof (I’ve got nothing against poofs however!). This is just a chart of my progress for the 2017 season, if you have any specific questions about ‘showing’ then email me on smithyveg@aol.com and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Onions at Leicester
Only a 3rd at Leicester for my onions but I was happy with that as they really needed another couple of weeks ripening. Also, in my efforts to get them as big as possible I didn’t pay attention to uniformity and they have ended up all different shapes and sizes.
Next year I’m definitely building a polytunnel so I can grow onions and leeks properly, and give the foliage of both proper support and attention in order to maximise my chances.
p.s……have I mentioned before that my parsnips at Leicester Show were considered ‘National level’ ????
