Had our show on Sunday. Decided not to put anything in, as a) first  year and b) nothing seemed particularly good enough to submit. When I went and had a look, I could possibly have won the carrot section, got a runner up with my swede and pushed for runners up with tomatoes and cucumber. I will know for next year :!:

Working all this coming weekend at the Dundee Flower and Food Festival

Hi,

Incidently Mellownick, I will be attending the Dundee Flower and Food Festival on Saturday - looks good!  I might see you there!

Regards

If you don't actually see me, you'll undoubtedly be aware of my presence; I do all the public address announcements!

Got the local village show on 16th September.  This is our first year, but we are going for it - based on the quality of the summer show.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained - it will all be good experience for next season when we will have two half plots.

Got jam, two photographs, carrots, cucumbers, runner bean,potaoes, Bertlotti Beans, French Beans, Leeks, Giant Marrow, Large-ish Pumpkin, Tomatoes, sweetcorn, beetroot and hopefully sweetpeas.  Also entering the best single annual in a pot comeptition - picture of this will be posted whatever happens. I have a trick for geting the things to bloom on request.  It has worked this year so far on two other occassons I have tried - if it doesn't work for the show I will feel a little down hearted.

Might even do some cooking on the day - jam tarts and victoria sponge - se what life brings.

regards

Blimey!!! I entered our local show on Sat,16th Sept and got 11, yes 11 firsts(red cards),3 seconds(blue) and one third(green)
I am just going to try and post the photos my daughter took once I figure it out.
Because I accumulated so many points it meant that I won the blooming great big cup which is not dissimilar to the FA cup!!!
Anyhow,will try to post photos soon
