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.

Millennium Class
This is the winning exhibit in the 'Millennium' class at this year's National at Harrogate staged by James Pearson, of Whitburn, West Lothian. It's a recently introduced class for 4 each of 250g onions, tomatoes, round beetroot, stump carrots and potatoes. The idea is to encourage new exhibitors to have a go at a higher level with these vegetables that most people grow.
The varieties are:
TOMATO Shirley
ONION Canto
CARROT Major
POTATO Amour
BEETROOT Pablo
If I am to step up next season then this is certainly one of the classes I'll be considering, but judging by this set then I'll need to make sure every dish is in tip-top condition to stand any chance of even a 5th place card!
