Tel Florists would love them sell for loads down in London. They would love them up North as well, we send ours all over the country and to Scotland as well as servicing New Covent Garden Flower Market. |

The first 5 pictures are the old allotments, the rest are on the new. Having second thoughts on giving up the old allotments now, still think I am fit enough for another season down there, Just got to discuss it with Brenda yet.  |

I posted this in flowers and foliage but thought I should post it here. Won't be winning any bowl classes in harrogate or wisley or anywhere. Bowl class : throw in within 5mins for 360 degree effect. Clock faced blooms allowed One of the reasons for everyone to grow dahlias for show or garden.This amount would cost a fortune in a florist and still hundreds in the border.  |

Unfortunetly between the race to get vases on the bench and stewarding for Robin Pierce time hindered this a bit.what is the name of this purple ball I do have a few of mine that did OK !!   Two vases of five miniature dec's that one me the miniature dec championship. The 2nd pic is a close up of one of the vases.   Single vase of 5 miniature balls 'Members Class' which eventually took best vase of balls in show. Final cut of 3 for the best overall in the members division.    1st single vase of miniature decs - 'Members Division'. One dodgy bloom bottom left, but still strong enough to win !!  1st, single vase of 6 poms - 'Members Division' which later took best vase of poms in show. Not great as they were a little young but bloom angle, size and being a reasonably balanced exhibit helped. Yes a good show for me. From 11 entries: 6 x Firsts 3 x Seconds. 2 x Thirds. Miniature Dec Championship. Best vase of poms in show. Best vase of balls in show. Most points in the members classes. Lovely entries there Mark. Congratulations on your success |

. After Harrogate, I'm totally hooked on showing. I've picked 8 to start me off, and see how I get on. One week the local shows, next week the world
