We Vagabonds have no problem with visitors coming and winning, we judge flowers not personalities, so very well done to VS let's hope we see more exhibitors next year.

Most of the Vagabonds are in the North but we also have a member in New Zearland many in Scotland and also in the South. We are a group of like minded people who just like showing Dahlias and having a laugh.

Leeds Paxton show this Saturday. The Leeds Championship is for 5 vases at least 3 different varieties. Will have a look on Friday to see if I have anything good enough to enter this. I know Dennis Glover will have 5 vases of his miniature decs in that, he is a very good miniature dec grower, he won the Minature Decs Championship at Harrogate in 2012, runner up last year and he was second or third this year.

Cut the first blooms for Malvern, Ruskin Andrea and Ryecroft Jan. Don't usually cut them this early but I want to see how the white centre of Andrea develops. And I'm hoping Jan might get a bit bigger after some extra time in water. Got a few more to cut tomorrow, the Zoe's mainly. With a bit of luck I may get 6 vases of something or other. No championship as the mediums have disappeared.

Should be able to do 3 vases of 3, 2 vases of smalls,one vase small semi cactus, 1 vase small ball, one vase miniature dec. Thinking about cutting the last Bonaventure but needs at least 3 more days. Of those, hopefully will get one good vase of Zoe sport.
