I think anyone interested in growing veg for show should join the NVS. For £14 you get 4 quarterly bulletins packed with information on growing all sorts of veg for the table as well as the showbench. You have access to specially produced DVD's on growing different veg, a library and of course entry into the various NVS-run shows should you wish.
Depending on where you live you will also get a newsletter from your local branch (mine is the Midland Branch) as well as booklets listing judges and lecturers which is useful if any of you are involved with your local horticultural society and need to book speakers.
You also get the chance to buy garden sundries at subsidised rates. However I think that the spectacle of the NVS shows is enough reason to join as there is nothing like it anywhere else in the World.

Hi, what an awesome blog. I love your pics and your comments are hilarious. I am from South Africa and we are hugely embracing the whole eco-friendly, tree-hugging, bird loving mentality (aka Al Gore) right now. We make a kind of plastic netting that farmers use to protect fledgling plants, vegetables and even vineyards from pesky bats and birds - in a humane way. Maybe sometething to protet your exquisite babies in? Check it out www.plasticexports.wordpress.com.
