Kedington Folk Show Off Their Large Vegetables

Who Has The Biggest Marrows? On Saturday Kedington Church celebrated another record year for the Kedington Horticultural Show, with 34 entrants (Up by one on last year's record), more than ever before. Despite this the over all number of exhibits was down by a third to 195 due to poor growing conditions through the summer leading to many roses being already over and fruit like apples not being ripe in time.

All the same, the people of Kedington still managed to turn in a good display of quality produce and cullanry treats.

The Children of the village also took part with examples of both craft and growing skills. including three new categories: A Box Of 4 Different Vegetables and 6 Cherry Tomatoes On A Plate for those horticultrally minded and A Bookmark Decorated With Pressed Flowers for those more craft orientated.
