Having seen Laurie & Jerry's comments I must ask the question;
Is this a competition??
If it is and had I known I would have approached the whole thing differently, for instance I would have displayed my onions like this;
and tomatoes like this;
As it is the three onions that I have displayed here were in the pot right after I took the picture.
This is not sour grapes far from it, as I see it this is a bit of fun that the inexperienced and experienced can partake in, plus the fact my competition days are long gone.
It is said; beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and quality should be of more importance than quantity.
For instance; I perhaps went through 20-30 onions to get these three and a similar amount of tomatoes, so this is a classic case of quality before quantity but it does not necessarily mean they taste any better than a mis-shape.
Whereas the three onions I first displayed were the first three of the season and these were picked primarily for the pot, and they were very tasty!
If it is a competition and I hope it is not, can someone display some rules please, including the matter of; if it is a 'veggie show' why is their fruit and flowers in the section?
Then again we could go for a section for 'as grown' and another as 'dressed' I think that would make for some interesting sights, what do you think?
I hope I haven't upset anyone with these comments its just Laurie comments were spot on if entering say the village show, whereas Jerry's comments are about........eating & storing' and mines are just an extension on both.
