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.

Watch out for those aphids.....
I'd grown a little concerned these last few days about some Sweet Candle that appeared to be going crinkly and stunted. However, I only got to have a closer look last night and noticed they were crawing with aphids so I had to zap them quickly with some liquid Derris. They appear to have picked up a bit overnight but I just hope they haven't passed on any of the various viruses that can cause serious damage. It just shows you have to be vigilant at all times.
