I entered few things at show some sweetpeas which I got 2nd for and 3 chickens eggs (white) where I looked after some chickens got 2nd for they crack one open look at the egg and a hand tied bouquet which got 1st for and got a trophy - floral art cup
only 2 entries and other got disqualified for not being tied - let alone it was more just been cut flowers from plot not arranged into bouquet - the woman was so late to enter the lots she put in for we left hall and she had 20 minutes to enter them all - think others were going to help her
Found out who won Best allotment - then Most improved allotment plot and it was me so got a plate amazing, did not think I had done enough - what I had wanted to when judge went around plot as was told when it was there was still one tonne bags around, but did think I had improved a lot since the piles of pallets
Went to plot today watering and trying to build little shed very hot - plot neighbour got a big plastic pool and they have been in it a lot yesterday
Thanks I am went from 100 points to 249 points - will try to get my name on trophys even if it cost me money - so saying I have had it once - like the potato trophy
Went to the plot for a small bit fed birds, then lots of planting in garden of the potatoes I had forgotten to plant had a long time
while in garden saw so many different birds great spotted woodpecker - not sceen one for a while looked young ish, long tailed tits, blue tits, great tit and a dove all enjoying the feeders and a suet coconut feeder - also had a baby robin jumping around me picking up the bugs after I had dug
my 2 pumpkins are getting bigger as has been rained on

Picked the first blackberries and mini pop. The minj pop plants are over 6ft tall, I really don't know how I manage to grow the plants so tall.
Two apples tree's are ladened with fruit but only one plum on the plum tree! And no cherries or pears.
