Title: Vegetable/produce show next year - best time?
Post by: Squash64 on October 05, 2011, 07:16:27

We are hoping to have a Vegetable/Fruit/produce show next year.

When would be the best time to have it in order to get lots of entries? We need to avoid mid to late August because of our Summer Fayre.

Mid-late september gets most things in terms of veg but might not be so popular with the idiots flower growers :D

An issue with first week of September is that none of the big cucurbits are ready, and it's touch and go with the big onions too..... It's why I'm not fussed missing my local show and entering a different one two weeks later...
