Colin Alexander (pictured) examines a giant cabbage, one of a number of prize exhibits in thumping good condition at the Benhill Horticultural show at the weekend (July 14).
The show at Strawberry Lodge Conference Centre in Carshalton had nearly 200 entries in categories including flowers, vegetables, cooking and a children's section.
The Benhill Horticultural Society Trophy for most first prizes went to Nobby Clarke of Sutton and the society's Rose Bowl, awarded to the woman with most first places, went to Brenda Richards.
Both are long standing members of the society.
More than £220 was raised for the Starlight Children's Foundation.
The next show is on September 14.
