Hi all I went to this show on Friday and took a few pics. I didn't photograph all of the exhibits but here are a few with a few details ( courtesy of the show website) on what was on the benches.
Apologies for the quality of some of the pictures as things have changed a bit since last year and I could not always get as close to the exhibits as I would have liked so there was a bit of hand shake!
ps. There were two tomato classes so I do not know if I have the picture in the correct class.
Generally the veg show was a bit chaotic when I was there as the judges had just finished and all the weights & measure had not been put in place, hence the guess with the tomatoe entry.
