      The judges only thought it was worth a bronze (I disagree  :))


    They explained on the BBC some of the reasons why it was marked down, such as the equisetums which were too small, and Hostas planted in gravel when they prefer damp conditions. Not enough attention to detail!

    Just about to pull into my station, and then have a bit of a drive home. Will sort through the rest of my pics tomorrow and post a few more of what I thought were the best bits  :)

    Thanks Chicky.
    Very interesting what you said, unusually for me I do not like CB's garden this year.
    For me the M and G garden wins.

    I like the Yorkshire garden but I was glad that Chris won the Best in Show. I think there have been other years when he should have won it but he got the People's Choice instead. However, I couldn't really tell what his garden was like from the pic I saw on TV. But I haven't seen the afternoon programme yet.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
