The Melbourne Park Allotment Competition has now been judged and the results are in…..
There are two categories for the competition, one for those who have been on site for less than 18 months, and a second category for those more experienced plot holders. As usual the judging is completely independent and this year we welcomed Eddie and Pat Cole to offer their expert eye over our efforts. Eddie and Pat have been involved with Baddow Horticultural Society in the capacity of show secretary, and organising various trips for members, as well as judging the Baddow Parish Council Allotment competition each year.
Eddie and Pat were looking for plots with a good variety of fruit and vegetables, the condition of the crop, the apparent well being of the area, and general tidiness. They were impressed with the variety and condition of the crops being grown, and after careful deliberation selected the winning plots as follows:
Under 18 months
1st place Brian Pickford plot 127L
2nd place Joan Kama 12L and 12R
joint 3rd place Wesley Eselojor plot 82L and Saji Thomas plot 21
Over 18 months
1st place Marconi Belles 111 and 51B
2nd place Peter Caffrey plot 73 and 74
3rd place Ian Gill 26L
Highly Commended Tony Holbrook and Karen Lawrence plots 24 and 45
