Pictured at the end of the show are the trophy winners, judges and organisers.

Presenting the awards was local sub-postmaster and businessman David Ward, centre, with Sheila Minns, chairman of the gardeners’ association, on the far right.

Local farmer Les Robinson, pictured on the left, topped the scales for his prize-winning marrow, which weighed in at an incredible 35lbs.

East Barkwith and District Gardeners’ Association meets in the village hall on the fourth Friday of the month, when new members are always welcome.
