Pointing Some vegetables are more difficult to grow to perfection than others. There is a “league table” of vegetables which states the number of points they are worth when exhibited. This does not matter EXCEPT when you are displaying a collection of vegetables. The judge will give marks for each type against the maximum that the vegetable in question attracts. For example, the judge may award 12/20 for a potato of fair quality and 11/12 for a radish of excellent quality. The prize will go to the exhibit gaining most points. So the “fair” potato beats the “excellent” radish. Therefore try to include as many of the “high-pointers” as you can in your collection.
