Hi Steve what a lovely show and that's brilliant of you to recognise everyone and thank them all 👍👍
Glad to see you smiling with you 🏆 and just goes to show a simple mistake can ruin such a perfect product. Keep safe Bill and val
Congratulation, Steve. Well done.
Well done Steve. It looks a lovely show. Nice that they have a kids section too. Those orchids are stunning.
Well done Steve 👍 impressive as always sorry we couldn't give you a run for your money this year 😂😂 maybe next year the Badger desolated the garden goodies early on and health stopped the rest
Be mm a about the lemon n curd Steve. Congrats on your other placements. Take care.
I'd like to check out one of those shows….looks like a cool afternoon. Well done to all involved:))
Show looked lovely and sometimes I think the smaller ones are better. I get a rash from bean leaves so always have to wear long sleeves. Fabulous harvest and lucky kids 🥰🥰🐝 safe have a great week
Youre very welcome! Can't believe you came first! Haha welldone Steve!!
Some beautiful exhibits there Steve (yours included mate 😁).
That first parsnip reveal around 11.38? Almost better than my crap carrot reveal recently 🤣
Noticed at same point in video a rhubarb forcing pot, just wondering what you paid for it mate 🤔 saw an original Victorian one in garden centre today for a mere £289 🤣🤣🤣
ATB 🍻👍

Looks like you did quite well, Steve. BZ! 😉
Hi Steve, Thank you for this video its always nice to see these shows and congratulations with you placings. All the best Wayne.
Cracking video Steve i didn't know there was that many classes, well done on your prizes you normally go home with something anyway. Weird on that Lemon Curd i remember buying a jar of Strawberry Jam from a school fare when my kids were little, and this jar had all the trimmings on it as you do and i thought i would open it and have a good sniff or was that taste, anyway there was a blob of mould just like yours, so back to the stall i went and got my money back. Well done again mate.
Stay Safe😷

Well done on your success at the show Steve and how great to see the children section too, loved the monster veg. What a shame about your lemon curd but it's a good reminder to me not to be complacent with sterilising. Take care and well done 😊
Hi Steve, lovely video on your local competition and wtll done for winning 2 categories. Shame about your lemon curd. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Well done Steve and thanks for showing the lemon curd jar.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Hi Steve, What fun!! The work of planning, dreaming, planting growing, harvesting, cleaning arranging and presenting all the vegetables is the joy of the journey to the table. The judging and winning happens but everyone there is a winner for pursuing their dream to grow and grow a vegetable. The pieces of paper of different colors are the winning memories for the scrapbooks. Looks like you did quite well from what I could see. This year I was able to find some seeds for the turban squash I saw it a couple years back and I finally got the seeds this year. I am loving how they look excited to taste them at harvest. I saw a picture of one on the video from 5:58 – 6:02. Great video thank you for sharing I am sure you had a terrific time. bye for now
Thoroughly enjoyed watching from start to finish Steve, some great classes and entries, not surprised your onions won the overall given the attention to detail you gave them! Yep, cover those arms … Lol … pity about the jar of lemon curd – can happen … Well done on a nicely put together bud, all the best there buddy 👍🏼
Hi Steve, really enjoyed your tour of the Summer Show and looks like it was a great occasion ! Best Wishes, Paul & Nadj.
Great to see the show and congratulations on your wins. Seems like a nice, fun way to spend a day. With a lot of work for it too though!
