Dahlias 2011 season from June.

Yes good luck Tel

are them mini decs a bit close tel

I cannot see this show surviving another 12 months, when i left the exhibits way way down in everything, unless there is a rush in the last hour before judging, it will be a poor show.

There were only two of us with any dahlias, i had 3 vases and the other exhibitor had 2 vases, and his were not for the classes i entered.

I have put a cucumber in that is not quite straight. ;D
6 french beans that are good.

The show finished up with 3 dahlia exhibitors.
The late comer won both dahlia medals.

I had two seconds and one first with the poms, received a trophy for the poms.

Second with the 3 different sized seedling.



Second with the mixed vase of Small Decs all different sizes again, the top bloom Rossendale Peach was rubbish if i do say so myself.



First with the pom Moorplace



The pom Trophy


I had two entries in the veg section
First for french beans

First for a Carmen cucumber.
Plus NVS silver medal for best veg in show


Does this qualify me to join the winners board. ;D

Hopefully i should have a lot more blooms to choose from next weekend.

To say the dahlias are timed for the middle of Sept, i was surprised to have any dahlia entries at all in this show this year.
The silver medal in the veg classes came as a big surprise, i only put a small amount of veg in a show, sometimes none at all.
This is only the second silver medal for veg i have ever won, they will be catching up with the silver medals for dahlias at this rate. ;D

My Jomanda's grow to 4 to 4.5 feet they are quite tall.
