One of the problems the BBC and the gardeners had yesterday was the
truly appalling weather. It chucked it down most of the time and we've
had very high winds, too (A friend has just told me that his boat in
Weymouth has been sunk!) so I think it more than probable that a lot
of what the Beeb had planned to show us or people they hoped to talk
to, just wasn't available.

Judging by very short forays into the garden, it won't be much better
today! Am looking forward to seeing what they come up with! - Or what,
indeed, isn't up yet ...

Well, it's still horrible here today - not quite as wet but pretty
windy and with showers still sending people scuttling indoors. As to
what isn't up yet, a fellow exhibitor at the Devon County Show didn't
have one Agapanthus in bloom to show and they're one of his
specialities. ;-( It really has been dire and even though we know
exhibitors at Chelsea bring on or hold back much of what they show,
just moving them into position in this weather must be a total
nightmare.

I may have missed it elsewhere in this ng and if I have, I apologise but
aren't you going to tell your good news?

Thank you for asking! It's hardly on a par with Chelsea, though the judge
says he works to RHS standards! It's overwhelmingly an agricultural show so
the flower and garden exhibits are a tiny part of it. However, we got a
Silver Gilt medal at the Devon County Show and are quite pleased with that as
it's our first effort. We were just a blip away from a gold, according to
the judge, so that's nice to know. The worst of it is that I've lost my
digital camera that had the only photographs on it. I'm still hoping it will
turn up somewhere but am not over-optimistic. ;-(
The theme was Where Town meets Country so we had our more 'sophisticated'
conservatory plants in the town bit which was edged with paving stones and
then as we moved towards the Country, we had an old wooden gate and a table
and chair with a cream tea on them, plus a windvane which has a man in a
greenhouse, a woman with a teatray and a dog in a wheelbarrow on it (!) lots
of plants all clustered round that and tapering off towards a tree fern and a
lot of other garden goodies. The Country bit was edged with gravel so there
was that, plus the gate, to give the delineation between the two. We got
loads of compliments, a lot of real interest and some new customers, so
hopefully, it was worth all the very hard work. The interesting thing is
that out of all the plants we showed - and there were a LOT - the one that
aroused most interest was a large and very beautiful Nicotiana mutabilis,
which probably goes to prove that pretty and delicate win hands down!

That is extremely rude. Sacha and I have frequently not seen eye to eye
over the years but she has been given a prestigious award and as
long-term posters here, we should all be proud of her as one of our own.
Get over it Mike.
