GREEN-fingered growing all-rounder Jimmy Salisbury scooped 30 titles in Tyldesley Allotments' Association's third annual show on Saturday.

He had a clean sweep of the dahlia section, with the rest coming in the vegetable and outsize classes.

He lifted the Garden News Top Vase presented for the first time.

Winner of the Garden News Top Tray for vegetables went to Graham Griffiths, while Ian Whyte collected the Roy Shaw Cup for the best allotment and the Paddy Prescott Novices' Cup for vegetables - at his first attempt.

In the special classes Jimmy grew the longest parsnip, carrot and bean and the heaviest marrow, tomato and onion.

Treasurer, Frank Edgington, once again scooped the giant cabbage prize, beating his 21lb victory of last year by nine pounds.

Ian snatched the longest cucumber title and Graham the heaviest swede.

After the successful show the flowers were presented to Tyldesley Independent Methodist Church and the vegetables to Park House.
