I was really taken when I saw this dahlia at Malvern.....until I saw the name. Being totally and utterly anti-all things remotely Quentin Crisp I can never ever grow this plant. What was the raiser thinking?

I have been growing and showing veg since 1996, a brilliant hobby contrary to popular belief and the views of my mates who think I’m a big poof (I’ve got nothing against poofs however!). This is just a chart of my progress for the 2017 season, if you have any specific questions about ‘showing’ then email me on smithyveg@aol.com and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Simon - Beginning to get doubtful about you - Wanting to show Purple Puff as a dahlia and wanting to move in with me - Some people will do anything to get a decent set of carrots!!
