We also have categories for the children which is a nice thing to add in . Just a few things for you to think about. Also the 'any 3 veg' is a gr4at one for people to put different things in. I think there should be a smallest/biggest veg entry and also weridest looking veg. Mainly for those of us who grow to eat and not to show!!Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-60957758357136222052013-10-25T17:13:40.118+01:002013-10-25T17:13:40.118+01:00Looks as if your allotment show will go from stren...Looks as if your allotment show will go from strength to strength. Like others the marking puzzles me slightly. Your basket of veg looks most beautiful. Sadly our allotment show folded a while ago but the oddest shaped vegetable class was always popular.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-58468486471126020182013-10-24T21:43:05.992+01:002013-10-24T21:43:05.992+01:00I think your veg looked great.

I'm glad you had fun - that's surely what's most important about these shows.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-43504717695033866832013-10-24T19:39:00.724+01:002013-10-24T19:39:00.724+01:00Hahahaha, I laughed out loud at the end there!!!

It's surprising at how many people don't read the schedule properly, or leave it to the last moment. <br />Well done, even if you didn't win a prize for the vegetables they look. good, and I'm sure that you'll do better next year. <br />Sadly I didn't get to our show again this year so missed all the fun and games.<br />Flighty xxFlightyhttp://flightplot.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-35808522633365813502013-10-24T13:30:08.798+01:002013-10-24T13:30:08.798+01:00Only 6 marks for your squash!!!!

I do think the showing is fun and it would be a real pity if it dies out. I have never done it though. The allotment doesn't have a show and we always seem to be away for the local county show. There's someone on our site who mainly grows for show. I don't get some of it though. He has so many stunning flowers but only picks them for 2 shows and then scraps them. He doesn't even pick them for his wife. Quite strange.wellywomanhttp://www.wellywoman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-6993639156202483532013-10-24T11:30:34.601+01:002013-10-24T11:30:34.601+01:00Yes squash can definitely be hit and miss, last ye...Yes squash can definitely be hit and miss, last year was a complete disaster for me but better this year. I just grow to eat so just what was ready at that time was what I put in, I did try to make sure I had some beetroot though. Many people on the site grow just for show so time everything to perfection.Annie_Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140041665657746319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-55064632327178044842013-10-24T11:28:14.804+01:002013-10-24T11:28:14.804+01:00No I think they had the potatoes, onions and beetr...No I think they had the potatoes, onions and beetroot so that there were somethings to compare across all entries as last year was a bit of everything and sometimes hard to judge who was best with that.Annie_Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140041665657746319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-84123535136847616512013-10-24T10:32:44.018+01:002013-10-24T10:32:44.018+01:00It's not the winning, it's the taking part...It's not the winning, it's the taking part. I think so long as you've had fun, that's all that matters, though as you say, some people take it very seriously. I think your entries were smashing, and squash may be easy to grow, but I can't manage it very well.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-36507796248569682212013-10-24T09:33:29.527+01:002013-10-24T09:33:29.527+01:00Whoever decided squash are easy to grow obviously ...Whoever decided squash are easy to grow obviously didn't have a crop failare as we did in 2012!!
