This was probably the best Autumn show that I have seen at the London Halls for many years, the tables were much fuller than other years and the quality was excellent as well. Probably a little do with the fact that it was a late start to the year and growers still had plenty growing away in their gardens – It was great to meet up with two hard workers from the NVS when I presented them with their Fellowship Certificates, Derek Learwood and Beth Otway. Beth Otway, although incapacitated works hard on her computer organising programmes, events and reports for the Southern Branch and the NVS ‘Simply Vegetables Magazine. Beth has a wondeful web site that you might care to visit on www.pumpkinbeth.com
