    Just for fun - real allotment show prizes

    Our allotment is having a show, with the usual prizes for neat veg. Spurred on by the sunflower thread, what prizes should be awarded that we might stand a chance of wining?


    My suggestions
    "the promising most, delivering least" award (root veg & tubers), marks given for size and luxuriance of foliage, and dissapointingness of underlying vegetable

    "the Usaine award" for fastest bolt (geddit?), timed between planting and turning to non-edible seed heads...

    Yep I've had the odd winner in those categories, especially the Usain one lol.

      I would have won the roots and tubers with my oca last year - amazing foliage, nothing at all underneath except roots!

        Have you been listening to VC again?

        How about ‘expected big and got micro’
        ‘Curliest runner bean’
        ‘Sensational wellies’

          How about ‘didn’t need medication ‘ so all those who are chilled (excuse the pun) can chant in front of everyone else.

              Most crops stolen by a pet? I keep spotting the dog working her way along the dfb's and cfb's, and can't put my trug down without her snaffling some.....
