Another member RichardR entered his first local show on Saturday. He did really well, he must have learned a thing or two on here. Three 1st and a second his three firsts were 5 x Kiwi Gloria, 3 x Citizen and 1 Bryn Terfel as biggest bloom! Well done Richard.  |

That sounds like fun and reminds me of a rellie who used to show dahlias and leeks in Durham at a pub show many years ago. He used to manage a Strike's nursery. It was like a strange country in those days. |

Congratulations and well done Richard. Please don't keep a low profile as we want to share your good news.  Well done Richard, totally agree with Cherry.
Which reminds me, I know that I put it in my Diary but I didn't mention it here I got a couple of 2nds at the weekend. Not bad considering the rubbish weather we've been having round here and I haven't got covers.

Definitely 'not bad' Moonlight. There is such a lot of work involved. You will possibly consider covers now that you know how successful you have been. |
