We still haven't got used to the HUGE shield we won at the Emsworth show, nearly a month ago. Our meagre offerings were enough to impress the judges in the novice categories, and the lack of competition certainy helped. The shield was surprise enough, but the prize money was even better - £41! I don't think we'll be entering the 'pro' classes any time soon though. Our carrots will need to be ten times as long.

This week we dug up the rest of the potatoes and beetroot. Not as many potatoes as I would have liked, but the ground is very stoney and I'll have to work more compost in next year. Meanwhile, I've got my 'green manure' seeds ready to plant. Low maintenance ground cover which we can dig in next spring to fertilise the soil as well.
