Congratulations. You worked very hard for those results DCDahlia. The dahlias were really good considering the difficulties with the recent weather.
I notice that Martin Fish was interviewed for television in front of the dahlias. They really stole the show.

Yes cherry the television cameras were there about 6 in the morning as people were still staging.It was nice to meet you today.Thanx candyblue all the long days at work for 10 hrs then up the allotment until 8/9 o'clock are worth it after days like today.I tried to time my flowers for the first 2/3 weeks in sept this year and it worked giving me a great choice of blooms.

I met you at a wonderful time, just after getting the results, and you hardly showed any emotion. You must have felt excited though, but I do know you were very tired. You look too young to be a grandfather.

The Old Champions will have to look out now, there is a new kid on the block and he is not taking any prisoners. ;D What a fantastic result i am chuffed to bits for you DC. It is unbelievable the number of growers and gardeners on this new forum that are brilliant at what they do, hope now you are a Champion you stay with us.  Once again well done, good luck this weekend.  |

Out of the 7 classes at tomorrow's show, i will have a entry in 6 of them,
5 of them i am happy with, but for the medium/large semi/cactus class mine are marked at the back.
But i am calling this my last show for this year,so i am putting them in. Just not had the time to give them any attention for the last two weeks, nor for the next two weeks either.
