All set

In the end my cucumbers didn't make it so I only have 19 entries at Malvern. But I've spent as long preparing them as I would 50 for a local show.

All the onions and shallots are individually wrapped in newspaper and I have 28 tomatoes and 24 cherry tomatoes also wrapped in sheets of toilet paper.















Leesa has excelled again with a blinding trug and will finish off at the showground poking bits of parsley and mexican gherkins in the gaps.



Now it's off to bed for a couple of hours kip before a 3am start. Should get to the showground around 5am giving me an hour and a half to get everything in. After a quick cuppa we'll be off over the Malvern ridge for some fresh air and amazing views if the weather forecast is correct.

The picture of your kitchen reminds me of my childhood days of making paper mache out of newspaper and flour and water paste, or wallpaper paste LOL

Seriously though, best of luck for Malvern, the trug looks great. Can't wait to hear how you get on.

I heard that Medwyn is now suicidal.
I put your success down to Frog Shit in 'yer greenhouse when you were on your hols.
I hope that daughter no.1 gets some credit for looking after them at such a crucial stage,and for resisting numerous suggestions for her to give them a growth boost by spraying them all with Glysophate by us lot..
