What a fantastic selection. I remeber the first time we grew Tigerella tomatoes, we were convinced that no way would they really be striped but they were! Now the important question is...Can I do my Internet shoping via you.....just email me a nice selection of fresh veg (not forgetting your plum sauce)...Thanks..LOL

I am not surprised - well done you. Brilliant - I bet you are really pleased.

What people never realise is the hard work and dedication it takes to produce all those crops and make those jams do they?

Well I do!

Somehow I don't think it would be worth eating by the time it reached you! LOL
And you're not getting my plum sauce!!

It has been hard work this year and of course the basket was filled with carefully chosen specimens!!
Fortunately the other members of Garden Club do understand how much work it is. That's why the some of the older ones don't grow their own food anymore.

You are totally deserving of first...I love your presentation as much as the contents of your basket. Well done! Peter Rabbit would be in Heaven at your place...
