Best Allotment Prize

 

The best allotment prize is judged by the vegetable show judge during the summer (usually sometime in early July).

The allotments are judged based on 25 different categories. Each category is marked out of ten for the quality (not quantity) of the class and the winner is the allotment with the most points.

 

The judge may also use their discretion after totalling points scored for the overall condition and running of an allotment when awarding prizes.

 

The 25 categories are:-

 

Potatoes

Leeks

Celery

Cauliflower

Sweetcorn

Kidney Beans

Runner Beans

Broad Beans

Peas

Cabbage

Parsnips

Sprouts

Winter Greens

Carrots

Turnips
