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.

Worth the wait.
Out of my 8 firsts at Westminster the one that probably pleased me the most was tomatoes. It's been two years since I won a tomato class and after this car crash of a season it's taken till October for the best shaped fruits to ripen. As with the carrots they weren't the biggest but they were nice and round and a well-matched set. Charlie Maisey certainly liked them. And as far as i'm concerned Cedrico is still the best variety to grow for show.
Well done Simon, I won the tomato class in our local show this year, (first time I have ever even been placed). I too won with Cedrico F1 so am happy to grow them again next year, (I'll email you a pic of my winning set).
