Spent an interesting couple of hours last night in Derby at a lecture by Medwyn Williams MBE. He told us how he went about gaining 10 gold medals in a row at Chelsea Flower Show. He certainly is quite a character and kept us all enthralled with the stories of his trials and tribulations in trying to get a display of autum maturing veg ready in time for late May.
If you have ever been to Chelsea and seen one of his displays the thing that strikes you most is the vast array of different colours that can be achieved using different veg, from yellow carrots to purple cauliflowers and blue potatoes.
He's retired from doing Chelsea now but still 'shows' at the larger veg shows run by the NVS, and is actually President of the Society as well as being on several RHS committees. He's 'THE MAN'.
