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.

Cue Jaws theme.....
.....just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! Further to my post mentioning Graeme Watson it appears he too was celebrating 25 years of marriage this year. He was in New Zealand and Australia and had to cut back his growing drastically this season. His carrots at Harrogate weren't a patch on his normal exhibits and now I know why. No doubt he'll be back to his usual standard next season . If it's half as good as his National Championship 2007 winning long carrots then we're in for a treat.
Scary indeed from the point of having to try to compete with that quality but refreshing to see a good set winning the Nationals.
