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.

well done Simon
Well done Simon and if you're judging Harrogate next year!!!!!!
Well done Simon,
Does this rank alongside red card and BJ for feel good factor
Well done Simon, you must be well chuffed.
Question
Aubergines,Broccoli- coloured,Okra,Sweetcorn all 18 point veg why do few shows including national have classes for them. They never seem to be used in collections either why?
Mark....simplest answer is snobbery. However I have seen aubergines in collections at Westminster
Nice one Simon.
Puzzeled by your answer Simon.Snobbery by who,judges (you) or exhibitors.Are they considered to easy or difficult to grow?
Snobbery by all of us. Things like okra, aubergines, sweetcorn are sniffed at and I doubt you'll ever see them among collections at the highest level.
Not saying I agree with it, they're not easy to grow and deserve to be 18 pointers. Just needs someone brave enough to take the plunge with them.....mmm I wonder who would be stupid enough to do that?!?
well done Simon.
What a lovely xmas present. good luck to you simon you deserve it.
Medium Rare.
Thats you entering Orca at the nationals then !!!!!
What,a dish of 3 Killer Whales ?
Lol.....trust Bastow to come up with that spelling error!
But then again he's always liked free willie!
Your honor, what would the northerners say if you were to judge the harrogate show especialy knowing you were a southerner of some distinction and also the MTC.I hope i have not upset anyone
