Moderators, please feel free to relocate my thread if you want to.
With having moved home last year, and not taken part in my new Village Produce Show, because Trousers and I were completely @rse about face, I got to thinking....
An integral part of being part of a community, is to take part, and actually, I'd seriously love us to take part in our local Village Produce Show this year. There's Fruit'n'Veg, Crafts, Floristry, Photography, Cookery, Preserves, Cut Flowers, OOH! just what ISN'T there Children! Something for everyone.....
And actually, it really is great fun JUST to take part, because it's all about your own community, your hamlet, your village, your town, or your city.
It can only be fun when people, you and me, everyday folks integrate with each other.
And to be perfectly honest, local shows are now completely dying out because people like you and me won't, or don't, take part.
Have we been told too often by the Government that we can't play sodding CONKERS anymore? or wot!
Get out there with your Local Produce in your own Village Shows, and if you haven't GOT a Village Produce Show, my advice, seriously, would be to ruddy well start one......!
I'd like to start this Vegetable Show thread, if I might, to inspire any of you.
I'd hope that it won't be entirely about growing stuff to show, but making you aware of how you can grow your crop to a higher standard, if you so wish to.
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea, please raise their hand.X. and if I'm allowed to, I'll start others for Herbs, Fruit, Preserves, etc. etc.
Just hold me back children!!X
We shouldn't just grow gorgeous stuff in our own gardens or allotments, we should be proud of it too, me thinks....
