I moved down to the New Forest in April this year, to a beautiful Village called Sway. So of course one thing I did straight away was to join the local Gardening Club.
So for the first time here, I decided to put an entry in to the show. Lots of wonderful fruit, veg and flowers on show. I've not done this before so I had quite a few of my lovely Delistar cucumbers in the greenhouse to choose from.
So these two were the pair that matched well for size, shape and appearance.
So I displayed them in the village church first thing in the morning... then I had to wait until 2pm when the show opened.....
YAAAAAAY! FIRST PRIZE!
Congrats Matron. (I have to admit that I would have removed the withered flowers). I have ended up growing three varieties of cucumber this year, with some success, but nothing to hold a candle to these.
