Nice to see a flower show being developed and not closed down like so
many in the last few years.


There's lots of little shows around David, it just all depends on
whether people can be encouraged to enter .

Unfortunately our current Chairman has decided to have a spring show
(blinking daffodils again by the hundreds!) and then an August show so
no dahlias, roses are over. Sweet peas going off, etc etc.

It's like flogging a dead horse sometimes trying to get people to enter
though those who do, generally enjoy themselves. I don't know why the
RHS doesn't put out a comprehensive list of Flower shows, it would be
nice to go to some that aren't too far away.
It used to be listed in the Gardening News but haven't seen the list for
some time.


Went to the Auricula one, once, in Datchet i think, it was fascinating
for the amount t of skill and knowledge there and some wonderful plants
for sale but it was a specialised show.
