TEE GEE the celery was Ideal from Select Seeds.
The cucumbers Carman again from select seeds but i think what caught the judges eye was they were given a nice shine with olive oil.
The yellow tomatoes were my own seed don't know the name.
the reds were either Vandros or Cedrico, the best truss.....yep ......good old reliable Shirley.
The cauli was Cornel and i told the winner A mate, Terry what to try this year, the blighter, never mind i will get him next year.
There is a little trick to growing cellery apart from manure, water and slug pellets, when you plant the cellery out and it gets established put a 12"pot over it, this is not to draw the plant but to support the outer stalks to stop them from flopping then about 8 weeks before you want the plant you then collar it. I use an 2 collars inner and outer so i pull up the inner as it grows and keeping two thirds of the plant covered.
