IT HAS hardly been the best summer for growing fruit and vegetables in the garden, but green-fingered competitors at the Uley show produced a bumper crop.

Despite terrible weather gardeners entered hundreds of vegetables and flowers in the annual produce show on Saturday. Just over 270 people created 43 displays of a mix of produce.

Len Freeth, chairman of the village show society, said: "It was a good year for produce despite a bad year of weather. We still had lots of entries.

"The entries were all of a good standard, in fact some of the vegetables were very good indeed.

"Also in the afternoon we had lots of people come to view the show, the village hall was packed out. So overall it was a very successful day."
