Bearing in mind I'm still getting over the England - Wales football game and associated imbibing and am also new to this site could you p'raps give a little more detail on how this works? Do I just take a polaroid of e.g. my melons and post it under your link for the delectation of the masses?

Somewhere in the very near future the Mods will start some new threads for the following categories (they don't usually tend to change):-

The Happiest Sunflower
Best Failure
Three Beans, Same Variety
Three Bulbs of Garlic
Three Tomatoes
Three Potatoes
Any Other Item
Three Items of Fruit
Plate of Eggs
Truss of Cherry Tomatoes
Best Container
Best Dish, Made with Own Produce
Best Chili/Pepper - Single Variety
Three Beetroot
The most impressive Pumpkin
Best Chilies/Peppers - Collection
Best Funny Fruit or Veg
Three Carrots
One Brassica
Three Blooms, Any Flower
One Squash
Plate of Salad
Pair of Cucumbers
Plate of Ten Berries
Three Onions/Alliums
Fluffiest Bum [chooks, not human]
Pair of Root Veg
Prettiest Rose
Best Scarecrow

You then post your relevant piccies (or not so relevant if you want) in each category. So your melons would go in the 'any other item' cat. There will be a deadline set where the Mods then open them up for grapes to vote on their fav.

It is very much a fun thing but there have been some fantastic entries in the past. It is well worth looking through old entries.

Being a first year grower of Toms and Chillis I hope I can have something to show you.

Any other item!!!
Any other item!!!

There needs to be some new sort of category for them...

You should see the size of them! (Admittedly in my imagination, but maybe in a couple of months - reality)

I'm sure you're toms & chilli's will do just fine and if they don't you can always put them in best failure category . It's a very popular category it takes me ages to decide which is my best failure, I have so many to choose from

I desperately want to make one - despite my many years I never, ever have. Do I need to pretend a Small Child made it?

[sparrow100]

Last year VC added a special incentive of packs of seed from the VSP for those entering multiple categories- 'twas an offer not to be sneezed at!

Only if you don't want peeps to know it was really you that made it

[veggiechicken]

Anyone can make a scarecrow, Sparrow!
I "made" Margo in 2014 and her remains are still on the seat - looking very limp and bedraggled............and her head fell off
