I've had the following email from the editor of the Garden News
Dear Simon,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you out of the blue, but I still have your email address from last year when you got in touch and introduced me to your blog.
I'm planning a sequence of articles for GN this year on growing for showing that I thought you might be interested in. What I really want to do (hopefully!) is encourage people to have a go. I don't know if you're aware that it's GN's 50th anniversary this year, so we thought this would be a good year to challenge our readers to grow at least one thing for their local show and keep the tradition alive!
What I'd really like to do, to show people that you don't need huge greenhouses and masses of specialist equipment (like Medwyn!), is follow some ordinary gardeners who are relatively new to veg showing over the course of the summer. The difficulty is how I find these newcomers, which is when I thought of you! I wondered if there's any chance you could post something on your blog to help me find some willing volunteers, or indeed whether you'd like to be involved? All you & any other volunteers would need to do is chat to me for 5 minutes once a month to tell us how things are going, what you're doing etc. and if possible, supply a couple of pictures of the produce as it grows.
What do you think? If you're happy to get involved, it would be a great opportunity to mention your blog lots as well! By the way, Vanessa Robins, who you originally got in touch with me about - she was the new shower who wanted advice - has just agreed to be one of my volunteers!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Clare
So.....are any of you out there interested? What about you Kevin?
