Well done Piglet, not my kind of thing (I'm not remotely competetive and hate being judged) but a lot of people seem to enjoy this sort of thing.

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!! i remember getting my first in a show....i am sure the room warmed up with the red glow from my face :-)

Well done, piglet.

Put a couple of things into our annual show on Sat. and won two first prizes, one for a tray of 5 different veggies and one for a vase of mixed annuals.
Also got a novice medallion since I had not shown anything before.
Really chuffed.

Well done you for having a go.

Out of interest what classes were you able to win with stuff grown for eating, not for showing?
Round here 2 or 3 serious show growers win everything and few others bother to compete!

It's the same at our local show The veg classes have entries from 5 or 6 local growers who show at all the local shows, and 2 who show at National level I still entered the things I had ready, but had no chance with any of them.
On the other hand, the baking/preserves section was well worth the entries - I came out with two 1sts, a 3rd and Best in Show for my chocolate cake

I'll still enter some veg if I have the right stuff ready, but I'll be putting my main efforts into baking

Congrats . I'm not even brave enough to join the local gardening society.
