Downloaded the entry form for the NDS trials at Golden Acre Park. Birkenshaw Pudsey will be going there if all the cuttings do not damp off.

Just received a email from the Leeds Trial's co-ordinator. They have only received 33 entries, they need 40 for what they say is a decent show. They want members to enter some more, if possible.

I will not be entering that one. its a nice garden dahlia, but I do not think it would do well in the trials. Just Birkenshaw Pudsey this year. |

Tel if you were going to a show and there was a class that effectively had your Garden's Friend's 'name on it' (expression round here, not meant that there was a dedicated class for entries called Birkenshaw Garden Friends) would you want to show it?
At our local dahlia show there is are 2 classes for seedlings. 1 for dahlia's suitable for exhibition and 1 for dahlias suitable for the garden.
Are the Leeds trials exclusively for exhibition dahlias?

Are the Leeds trials exclusively for exhibition dahlias? Garden Friends, is more of a garden dahlia than a show variety. The Leeds Trials are for potential show varieties. I have my fingers crossed that Birkenshaw Pudsey, finishes in the top ten at the trials. Will be taking the plants to Golden Acre Park Monday morning. |

Best of british Tel. never managed to get to any trials, even when I lived down the road from Wisley. Perhaps just as well as I would be permanently frustrated  |
