Would you like to rephrase that, Grindle? People might read it and wonder about you! ;D ;D

Tel - you are the expert around here, I bow to your knowledge and pick your brains...lol. Don't tell me it was difficult to come up with dark flowered Dahlias!

The show schedules are starting to arrive, The Leeds Paxton show, is celebrating 125 years, i wonder if its patron Bob Flowerdew will make an appearance for the show in Sept.

I have received a schedule from a show i have not attended in the past, from Haworth Gardeners and Allotment Holders Association, their show is on the 21st August, this show could be a bit early for me.
