Well done the wife-Two first prizes: Peas(6 pods) Kitchen Apples-Two second: Black currant jam (from our own fruit) Broad Beans (6 pods). One third Kidney Potatoes-coloured.Total prize money a staggering £3.05 What a triumph for Hutton's only organic gardener!
Sadly the magnificent potatoes missed out in third place being twice the size of the competition. As for poor Huttonian's Cherry tomatoes-big is beautiful around here (but not with potatoes? ); small but perfectly formed is just not good enough. But they are delicious. If it was on taste there would have been no contest. I did the paper work (card with name and address inside an envelope under the exhibit-only revealed when the judge has made a decision) and so the prize winners,( except the jam) appear to be the work of the male partner-any how the wife has the prize money so justice is done.
To cap it all the apples when auctioned raised £2 and the jam £1.40-to the show organisers for next years prize money se we might get it back then. If we are spared.
