Another big day of judging including the Hams, Preserves, Apples, Wines and Eggs just to name a few.

| Southern's winning Granny Smith apples |
The Preserves looked wonderful as usual, with Irene’s preserves doing very well in the judging.
The egg judging is fascinating to watch. Each exhibit provides a minimum of two trays of eggs which are judged on internal quality, yolk colour, size, typed, texture of shell, cleanliness (bloom), uniformity of shape, size and colour. The internal quality is measured using the Hoar method. Southern also came out on top with the eggs.

On the deck we made stands for the 100 odd pot plants that are to be set up tomorrow. The stands then had to be installed and levelled.
Kate, Margie and a goose, I'll let everyone work out who is which ;)
ReplyDeleteNice work with the blog, Katrina. Did you get any good ones of the finished article?
Thank-you! We are very excited. Also, this post is really interesting. I like the little yoke color card. Do you know what yoke color is most desirable?
