Some of the UK’s finest nurseries, growers and independent producers will cart their harvest produce to the Royal Horticultural Society this October for their annual celebration of autumnal fruit and vegetables. Visitors can admire, taste and buy the freshly picked, dug and plucked ingredients, or those who grow their own can enter the RHS Fruit and Vegetable Competition to win cups and cash prizes. The first prize for heaviest pumpkin last year was £1000, which would just about make up for the fact that the winner must have eaten pumpkin with every meal for months afterwards. The RHS Harvest Festival Late will accompany the event.
