Fruit and Veg Competition

  • Pitville Allotment Society Pitville Ave Liverpool, L18 7JG United Kingdom (map)

FRUIT AND VEG COMPETITION - whatever you have available on the day.

Bring all your produce to the marquee at the top of the field.

Categories will include brassicas, beans, onions, marrows, all types of tomato, roots, peppers, any type of fruit, jams and pickles.  And for those growing grapes or blackberries - wine too!! 

Our two expert growers, Dave Clumpus (Plot 3) and Bob Clephan (Plot 19) will be our judges.  It's all good fun and not taken too seriously.  And there are prizes too.  And plenty of wonky veg!!  Tape measures at the ready - we will also be looking for the tallest Sunflower.
