My husband looked it... ...apparently shrewsbury show is on route to Cadbury World... Not sure what part of Birmingham Shreswbury is in However, if it's choccie you want then the free samples at the food marquee, along with samples of sausage, cheese, pickles,chutneys, along with wine, liquers, ciders means you don't need to buy any food or drink.

make a weekend of it.....and if you enter something ( £10 minimum entry ) you get in both days for free !! Is the ticket for the exhibitor only or would it be the family ticket (2 adults and 2 children)? Children aged under 16 and accompanied by an adult are allowed free entry. Exhibitors get in free. So you can enter. Your husband can enter. Cost will be £20 total. For 2 days. Plenty of childrens entertainment. You can go in and out of the showground as often as you like.

have a day out at shrewsbury show. scrumpy you're safe, way too far for us. Thanks for the info diggie and Cherry I'm just curious and I would like the girls to experience a little bit of what I did when I was little.
Think it is a lost opportunity, it would do good for them to get a wider range of people in, as most people work Monday - Friday.

that is so typical scrumpy . What I am more concerned with is yes my own plants look healthy but still many very small. I think I will put up my cloche and keep the youngest in there for a week and see if they come on a bit quicker. Yours tels and the ones I got in Kent are HUGE as are the ones I grew myself from last year's tubers. I may have to buy a couple of Weston pirate . I have one big one, two medium and loads of small ones. To get the stops in on time the smaller ones won't be big enough I think. That is my problem with my senzoe Ursula they are just to small About a third of the size of yours Also my ryecroft zoe are tiddlers compared to yours. If no proper greenhouse next year I must have early cuttings really and rooted in March To mid April. I have Zoe's twice the size of the ones I sent you. I have Zoes half the size of the ones I sent you. I could get them both to flower at the same time mid August. In your case, If you have 4 pairs of leaves, no matter how small the plant is, they will flower in September easily. The ones I sent you will flower early August because I bet they have side shoots showing already. To delay them means knocking back. You'll be surprised how quickly your plants develop at this time of year. 1st of June they will be ideal.

Raymond, just to tell you in 2011 I planted my Dahlias some 500+ out and was hailstoned twice in the space of three days the plants had most of their leaves ripped to shreds, I thought that was it for my season I even started to draw up plans for the year after. That year I won the Terry Clark National individual Championship for the second time. The Dahlia is a wonderful plant and as long as it has a good root system can put up with being ripped apart and manipulated to the point of destruction (almost). So we do not show leaves they will be a distant memory before cutting for show, yes we need good strong health plants but you will be fine, the plants may look a bit sorry for them selves but get them in and give the lots of TLC. Then you will be able to rub shoulders with DS and AA before you know it. Keep the old Scottish Chin up and good luck. Ian PS we also had hailstone on Monday evening. I cut off all the lower leaves anyway Mine too were battered by the wind and hail and thunder. Funny really, because I was checking the weather forecast at the time of the storm and noticed it was supposed to be dry and sunny !!!

Side effects from paracetamol are rare. However, side effects can include: a rash or swelling – this could be a sign of an allergic reaction hypotension (low blood pressure) when given in hospital by infusion (a continuous drip of medicine into a vein in your arm) liver and kidney damage, when taken at higher-than-recommended doses (overdose) In extreme cases the liver damage that can result from a paracetamol overdose can be fatal.
Side effects of aspirin
Aspirin can cause side effects, although serious reactions are rare. See your doctor if you are worried or continue to experience any side effects while taking low-dose aspirin. Common side effects may include: indigestion increased risk of bleeding However, less than 10% of people taking aspirin experience these side effects. If you experience indigestion, try sticking to basic food and taking your aspirin after a meal. Allergic reaction In some cases aspirin can cause an allergic reaction, although this is more common in people who have asthma. Go to the nearest hospital's accident and emergency department (A&E) if you experience: swelling of the lips, mouth or throat breathing problems a skin rash which appears quickly Uncommon or rare side effects Other, rarer side effects of aspirin may include: a runny nose headache ringing in the ears (tinnitus) vertigo a raised, itchy rash on the skin (hives) nausea or vomiting worsening of asthma caused by narrowing of airways inflammation (swelling) of the stomach bleeding in the stomach bruising In extremely rare cases, a possible side effect of taking low-dose aspirin is haemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain).
As you can see, when taken correctly, our favourite aspirin and paracetamol can cause problems. Hospitals spend a fortune on overdose of the above. So, why ban glyphosate. Are they seriously telling us that spraying a weed will cause all the side effects listed. Or do we have to drink it like tea.

It's just Tropical. Plants of distinction sell it.

If you have 4 sets of leaves and a plant about 6-8 inches tall then Senzoe stopped middle of June will flower nicely for September.

Let it flower as it is. That'll slow it down a bit. I've got Bonaventure that aren't showing laterals, I won't be stopping them for at least 10 days as I want them mid August.
In your case, after flowering, pinch it back to those 4 laterals. You may be lucky and it may hold back to late August, but I think they'll be ready earlier. In which case you could try it on a wing bud.

Any laterals showing? What is the variety ? How many pairs of leaves are on the plant?
Depends when you want the main plant to flower as to what you do next.

I use a lawn maintenance man. He comes 4 times a year, £15 a time. He does all the weedkilling, moss control, fertilising and aerating and scarifying. I could do it myself but it's the scarifying and aerating that are the hard work and I haven't got the equipment.
As Dai says, best left alone now until September.

Well.......what do I know...lol. I know it wouldn't be possible up here....... Guaranteed to flower in September even in the Orkneys The clue is rooted. Now if the cutting was taken early May, maybe not.
