    and should have been cropped during the 20013/2014 season "
    .....................................

    Also- **the heaviest pumpkin entries MUST have proof of weight or they will be excluded.
    **the tallest sunflower also needs proof of height.
    ** the longest bean must also show proof of length
    ...............................

    Classes will open soon - date to be arranged.

    Closing date will be the end of September, midnight on the 30th.

    Voting will take place over a period in October, dates to be agreed.

    As with last year's competition, points will be awarded to 1st/2nd/3rd places and the final totals will be presented at the end of the competition.


    New this year!!!...The GYO magazine will be featuring this competition in the magazine over a series of months so your entries may actually end up in print!!

    As last year, they have kindly offered to provide small prizes to the top 3 winners on 'cumulative points'

    ..so get in loads of piccies peeps! ( the higher quality the better- but that isn't essential)


    Good luck peeps- and enjoy!!


    previous entries and winners can be seen here...

        Looking forward to loads of entries from everyone.
        Don't worry about the quality of the piccies- see it as a way of showing off your produce to like minded people ( ....and then you can also enjoy eating them! )...food that it- not the piccies

            As an Added Incentive:-

            Everyone who enters 5 or more classes can choose 5 packets of seeds from the VSP, provided they meet the usual Seed Swap criteria (have been members for one month and have made 50 posts)

            So come on everyone, get those entries in - I want to give away VSP seeds
