Congratulations! You must be delighted. What a great result!

 

congratulations @Linz that is amazing! Well done! Hope you are proud of your winnings!

 

Result

Pretty good for a newbie

And you could always go into the rockery business with the Bara Brick

 

Thanks, yeah I'm pretty chuffed! My luck didn't end there either, I entered a raffle with a friend and won a VIP area in O'Neill's in Cardiff to watch the Mayweather and McGregor fight! Get in!

 

Well done Linz!

 

CongratUlations!!!!!

One 1st and two 3rds are a wonderful result

Takes notes of what won this year and then ... you'll be all set to wow them some more next year

 

Good advice.

Make a list now of everything you saw where you think you might have a chance next year, research the best varieties to sow, when to sow so they'll be at their prime, growing and preparation tips, etc.

 

I only entered 2 classes this year, but got 2 first prizes.

I'm going to follow my own advice above for next year.

 

Well done Scrunge

Did you have the longest bean?

 

Bravo!

Which categories?

 

Thanks again, will deffo take notes and wont enter so many things with less than half hr to get ready for them! Need to get some giant carrot seeds now..

And well done @Scrungee!

 

Is it for longest carrot or heaviest carrot?

EDIT: Read the schedule - bunch of 3 long carrots? I guess that's quality long carrots not giant ones with massively long roots and in giant vegetable longest carrot classes. Ones like these Exhibition long show carrot growing attempt

What sort of lengths were the entries for 'longest runner bean'?

 

Just read first link, lovely jubbly. Good info on there was planning on using a redundant food waste bin.. but might have to get the old man to cobble up a frame for me.

These were longest carrots



These were stump




These were longest runner beans.. you would of smashed it!



..not that long. My aunty cut and froze my all My beans before I could get them back, pretty sure I had one longer..off to read 2nd link. Cheers

 

Those are all 'standard length' beans, you need to grow a special variety to get really long ones.
