Blyton Motley....oh no they're not, they're Blyton Belle...see next post!

Can't see a great deal of difference between this and Blyton Belle, except it does appear to be marginally paler. It has the usual speckled markings and has very good form so it should be a winner. Here are my first two fruits growing a few inches apart on the same plant which is growing up a frame. The one on the right is a bit bigger and will be cut this weekend allowing the other to match it for size after another few days. I'll keep bringing the cut one out to put next to it to check them against each other for identical size. There are many more fruitlets forming for later shows.

As I've mentioned before Blyton Belle was raised by Les Stothard, who incidentally also knows that 'git from Humberside' ;o)

Never trust a Hull fan!!

In the most outrageous case of sabotage I've ever come across I've discovered that 4 plants of my usual dahlia 'Kenora Sunset' are actually a pink decorative type.....probably Emma's Coronet? Obviously some errant tuber labelling is to blame here, and as these plants were 'kindly' donated to me by me ol'mucker Kev Broxholme he will forever now be referred to as that 'git from Humberside'.

Only joking...love you really mate! (not in a gay way you understand!). Good job I quite like Emma's Coronet! However, you can bet your bottom dollar I will now be raising this matter at every conceivable opportunity at the top of my voice when I bump into him at the shows in the coming weeks!

I shall be interested to see if the Jomanda he also gave me turn out to be Jomanda at all. It'll probably be Bishop of bloody Llandaff!
