I managed to summon the energy to go up to the greenhouse, my tree fern is still alive so have given it a drink, along with a couple of fuchsias and a canna which is sprouting. the pots on the patio got a drink too. Brought in some pots to pot up a couple of patio standard roses; a couple of quince and another plant I can't remember the name of. Hopefully they will get seen to over the weekend. Enjoyed the fresh air...it helped my breathing , have been a bit anxious of late....but I'll bounce back..

Oh!! is that the whole show or just the dahlias??? The whole show Lou. Apparently, Harrogate council said they were losing to much money on the show. It seems that an average of 30,000 people over the weekend paying £18 each, plus the benefits to the town, hotels restaurant's and the shops, etc, wasn't enough. So a show that's been going since 1947 has ended. Not sure that re-mortgaging the site to build those new halls didn't have anything to do with it. Just rumours I heard. I'll have more information on the new site when I go to the AGM in March. You could go on Newby Hall's website and see more, certainly looks a very nice place.
Thanks for this info. I''ve been to Newby on a number of occasions. Its much "trickier" to get to than the showground; lots of twisting country roads. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Its a much smaller site for a start..

Thanks roofgardener. I do spend far to much time with my dahlias, but I get real enjoyment from them. Love going to the shows, meeting friends and fellow growers. Its worth all the digging and the silly 4.30am watering's and feedings. Had to sell the Cessna and Beechcraft as the neighbours complained about the noise One another note, Harrogate autumn show has now moved to Newby Hall just outside Ripon. Oh!! is that the whole show or just the dahlias???

I haven't looked at mine in a while; I've been ill and not ventured into the garden for some weeks. I'll try and do an "inspection" soon.

Good luck with your daphne Cherry:) My white one is still very small, even after all these years. As always patience is the name of the game.
