Title: Results of our vegetable show
Post by: zaz283 on September 19, 2010, 08:35:05
We've just held our show (St Ives Flower & Produce Show), the first time in 15 years, and it was a great success. If you want to see the results with lots of photos click the link in the footer below.

Thanks, John

Try something easier like Festival or nicer to eat and easier like Burgess Buttercup.... both are a month or more earlier than butternutand buttercups of all descriptions (Bon-Bon would be the other obvious one) are nicer eating than most butternuts.... we only got Butternuts in tis country cos of american airmen, they really are a sod to grow in our conditions...

As one of the early rabbis said, 'Even if she spoils the food'.

Your show is set out a lot neater than ours!
