The Annapolis Valley Giant Vegetable Growers had their 1st annual weigh off, held at Glad Gardens in Waterville Nova Scotia. Special thanks go to the Dill family for the use of their scale. This weigh off serves as a warm up to the Windsor weigh off and gives our members an opportunity to showcase the fruits of their labor which may otherwise go unnoticed. Pics in my diary.

Congrats to all who entered. You guys have worked hard on the club & now you get show off your goods. Way to go guys. I look forward to hearing the Windsor results.

I thought you'd have posted your results on the GVGO board as well. I don't visit this site that often.
