Section 105 – VEGETABLES
If more than one member of the family is entering exhibits, please divide entries
between family members, NO doubling exhibits from the same garden or farm.
Check the number of specimens needed in each category. Our numbers differ
from 4-H and Extension’s leaflet suggestions. It’s good to have a substitute, but
remember to take it out before you leave your exhibit. Variety names are
welcome.
Exhibits showing deteriorating signs; cracked tomatoes, rotting cabbage, excessive
bug damage, etc. will not be accepted.
The judge may cut one specimen of each exhibit.
Paper plates will be provided, but remember a box or sack to take your exhibits
home if you want them.
Root crops may be washed if necessary, or brush off dirt with a soft brush when you
pull or dig. Remove from soil when ground is dry.
Onions should have dry tops of about one inch. Best not to remove any skin; brush
dry dirt off, if necessary. Trim onion roots to one inch.
Leave ½ inch stem on all cucumbers. Leave a good sturdy 2 to 3-inch stem on
pumpkins and squash. Beans and peppers should also retain their stems. Ripe
cucumbers must be yellow.
Tomatoes will be exhibited by size or shape, not variety name. Tomatoes must be
ripe, remove the stems, and select uniform specimens without cracks or spots.
Cherry & plum tomatoes will be divided for size before judging.
Rhubarb: tie both ends of rhubarb stalks (pull rhubarb – don’t cut bottom of stalk.
Leave small one-inch fan of leaves).
Dill: 10 – 12 inch stems tied at both ends.
