Topic: When would you?

If you were judging plot's, on a site, with no qualifications, when would you say was the best time to judge?  Well, even if you had any qualifications when would you think it a fair time to do the judging?

About now would be a good time - although mine is a sea of weeds just now so no prizes for me!

I would have thought later than now Ollie as most wont be putting all their winter veg in until later this month.

Ours are judged in two weeks' time.

Better get weeding, eh?  :-\

On our site, plot inspectors nominate plots for short-listing at the end of July, then committee members judge the short-list around now.  It's a good time because plots should be full, the variety of things being grown can be seen and because it's a busy time you can see who's teally on top of their plot.  If you wait until winter veg are in, summer veg are out - you pays your money, you takes your choice!

Around this part of the world the sites are usually judged the first week in july.
the results are made public at the local village and town shows,which are held during August.
