Complete emphasis on showing, this blog looks at growing a wide range of vegetables and flowers, including my exhibition chrysanthemums for showing. It follows the ins and outs of gardening here at 'Duck Pools' and occasional silliness...you have been warned...

Neil on the NVS is rather good at putting together these cryptic quizzes and he has compiled yet another. So Ive pinched it to put on here.
So it's 10 cryptic varieties of veg for you to work out. The answers can all be found within catalogues that exhibitors often use, but they're not all recognised exhibition varieties.
1. Cauli - Johnson or Becker
2. Cabbage - Murder a heavy weight
3. Lettuce - Small ruby
4. Lettuce - Huron, Erie, Michigan, Ontario and Superior
5. Cauli - Release Joly
6. Cabbage - Small Ashley
7. Sprouts - Gives you wings
8. Parsnip - Choose an entrance
9. Capsicum - Medical condition perhaps after really hot curry
10. Capsicum - Sounds like Teletubby not seen from above
Good luck!
