I hardly think that growing one big tomato makes anyone a good gardener, so why not cover a broader range of veg,
Longest leek measured to the button
Largest leek, measured to the button and around the cercumfrence
Biggest/heaviest Cabbage
Biggest/heviest Sweede
Biggest Truss of Tomatoe,s
Largest/heaviest Tomato
Largest/heaviest Cauliflower
Largest/ heaviest Parsnip

I am excluded

What a complete waste of time, I grow for taste, but mainly enjoyment. Size does not matter (stop tittering ladies), I know I cannot talk I do also grow commercially, for RHS medals. But we try to beat last years medal, we do not compete with others.

When it comes to prize winning vegetables, they should not really be grown on allotments, these plots were intended to feed families not egos.

Ace I know from reading article in a gardening magazine , that the world record tomato after it won the prize, made 22 tomato sandwiches.

Growing old comes naturally .Growing up needs a bit of common sense .
By the way, Who moved that stone ?

after reading this thread somehow I seem to have completely lost the inclination to grow tomatoes ever again...however I do fancy some crumble!

Happy New Year to all, and let peace, harmony and the joy of growing things reign over our plots
