We are pleased to announce that G&G will be holding their Annual Harvest Festival at the end of September.
You are warmly invited to join us at this Virtual Event. ![[Image: wink.png]](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/wink.png)
We hope that you will share with us the finest of your crops and produce (in photographic form) and we will soon be listing some items that we would like to receive to make this Festival a success.
Meanwhile, take lots of photos of your veg, fruit and flower harvests and keep the best ones somewhere safe in anticipation.
Further details to follow. ![[Image: smile.png]](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/smile.png)

That’s so exciting. Hopefully I’ll have something worth entering this year.

Something to look forward to. Let's hope the summer gives us some lovely produce.

I'm hoping the weather changes soon and we start getting some growth in the veg patch. So far I've got some broad beans up approx 6", potatoes in the ground are not up yet (planted first weekend in may) beetroot seedlings just starting to poke through. Autumn garlic looking good though and the globe artichoke is trying to grow again now. Hopefully we'll all get some good growing weather from now on and have lots of lovely produce to show off.

Sounds like I'm not the only one watching my seedlings doing nothing much...Looking forward to the sunshine and the harvest!

I find one of the hardest things is to remember to take photos, I'm usually half way through eating, by then it's to late.

As an added incentive there's £40 in the prize kitty. This has the potential to rise as every unique entrant will add a £1 (to a maximum of £60)
