Preparing for the Show

If you are getting a reasonable harvest from your plot then you have the raw material for an entry to the show next Saturday. There's no entry fee - so why not have a go!
What do you have to do?

  1. Think what crops you have coming on.​
  2. Check on the 'Schedule' page for the details of how to display what you have.
  3. Just gather your crop as normal but make sure you can satisfy the display requirements listed in the schedule for things like length of stalk etc.
  4. Select some of your crop (more than required for the show) and set it aside somewhere where it will keep (-in the fridge?)
  5. on the morning pick out the best set as required by the schedule and come along and register - for as many categories as you want. Remember the entry is free!
