Well my second year attempt at showing has been another sucessful one. I have again managed to do far better than I could have ever imagined. The year started off with the Southern Branch National Championships held at the New Forest and ended with he National Championships at Malvern, with the local allotment show and NVS South West District Show in between.
My biggest achievement was coming 4th in the NVS National Vegetable Champions held at Malvern with Long Carrots in a class of 17 entries, competing against the top showers in the country
