First prize
Yesterday was the annual Llanthony Valley & District Show and Sports. The weather wasn’t the greatest; wellies and 4x4s were the order of the day. In addition to the usual vegetable show classes, the Garden Club runs a number of classes for – for want of a better term – vegetables in the ground. This year there was really only one class which we felt was for us – Most Productive Vegetable Garden.
So we entered, and won! As Sue is now saying, it shows that a veg garden can be both pretty and productive.
Here’s a few of the veg the judges thought worthy of the title.
Cabbage
peas
Sturon onions
and the piece de resistance
the runner bean arch
This year we’ve been following the No-Dig philosophy of Charles Dowding. Seems to be working!!
