Default “Showbench” type, but not monster marrows

Hi Folk, I have just dug out my seed catalogues and found what I was looking for.
“Mr. Fothergill’s” seeds are listed in the catalogue with a quick key guide to show extra details that they believe customers will find important. This is the guide
Exclusive: This variety is exclusive to “Mr. Fothergill’s”
Heritage: Old fashioned varieties, which have been included for their splendid taste and other reasons
Organic: Seeds, which have been produced by wholly organic means and certified by the “Organic Farmers and Growers”
Garden Friendly: Varieties with high disease and pest resistance. Ideal for “Natural” or Organic growing. Shopline varieties are marketed as healthy vegetables with out Chemicals
Showbench: Good Variety for “Showbench” use
AGM: Award of Garden Merit.
Now I know some of you want to grow monster Vegetables so I’m not sure if the “Showbench” type would produce what folk need but it would at least get you into the judging tent of most growers shows. The Green Valley Summer fete is open to all Grapes to enter and information can be found if you ask in the “Gardeners Rest” inn. I’m sure the Landlord or one of the Valley People could tell you all you need to know. The “Gardeners Rest” Inn can be found here.Gardeners Rest
