It was a beautiful day and we were very impressed with Mary and Phil’s beans

…and by their leeks

…but especially by their purple cauliflowers

Wow!

There were lots of entries and the competition was tight

So we never expected to see a first prize medal on our garlic….

Or the same on our shallots

Or a second prize one on our onions!!

So now we’ve not just got a great plot that we love, but also an award winning allotment!!

Thank you for inviting us Mary we’ll be back with gusto next year and we’re planning on entering every category!
