These are the left overs i used for a display at Shrewsbury show 2006. It was my one and only attempt at this class....the following year they left it out of the schedule

won £50 for that little lot...paid for a few beers that night

That is a lot of leftovers Scrumpie.

Crumbs

...how long did it take you to stage that little lot then

I started cutting blooms at 6 in the morning, and finished all the staging at 5 the following morning. Three hours sleep then off to get the results and an early trip around the show. Just a normal day really

Was one of those years that i managed to stage an entry in every class i entered, as well as the display, so i had another 20 or so vases on display too. Plus i had sweet peas, and veg......
