How you decided to germinate, grow and feed your vegetables is up to you!

You must nominate your three chosen classes BEFORE 28th August 2019 and we must be notified of your chosen classes via email. All seed will be from the same batch numbers so everyone has the same seed and exactly the same chance as anyone else.

You have five options to choose from, choose your best three (3) categories to enter and count towards the overall points. You don’t need to grow and submit all five before choosing three - BUT you will need a minimum of three entries i.e Globo, Enorma and Long Green Bush. Submitting 3 Marrows will result in 1 entry.

The veg options are:

Heaviest Onion - Globo - 100 seeds

Heaviest Tomato - Secret Beefstake variety - 10 seeds

Longest runner bean - Enorma - 20 seeds

Heaviest Marrow - Marrow Long Green Bush - 5 seeds

Tallest Sunflower - Giant Single - 10 seeds

Points will be awarded in each class as follows:

3 points for 1st place

Based on total points of your chosen three classes there will be an overall winner, then 2nd and 3rd place with a seed prize for each..
