Searching for a winner in the Spud in The Bucket competition.
Bush SuperGrans annual Free Spud in a Bucket prizegiving was held at Pahiatua Help-n-Hand on Saturday, February 15. This year we had 52 buckets with potatoes growing in them arrive on the day.
The categories and winners were:
■ Children
Best crop - Aaliyah Lewis. Most even-sized crop - Isiah Lyons. Biggest potato - Toby White.
■ Adults
Most potatoes - Lyn Hughes. Most even-sized crop - Shirley Wallace. Biggest potato - Rodney Hughes.
Bush SuperGrans annual Spud in a Bucket competition was a great success thanks to volunteers who gave their time to lend a hand, and to those who participated.
It was wonderful to see the number of crops that had grown , which made judging very difficult. Bush SuperGrans appreciates all the families that supported and contributed towards this successful event.
The eventis a great way for families to engage in the community while spending quality time teaching children a basic life skill. There is no age restriction when growing a vegetable garden .
Anyone interested in entering the Free Spud in a Bucket competition for next year or learning how to grow your own vegetable garden, can contact Kathy at Bush SuperGrans, 42 Main St, Pahiatua.
Is this the role that every other NZ town and city should consider?
