Zoomer your show was a big show did people enter really big veg?
Love your garden Ginagibbs so pretty
Scroggin great picys of plot
Been doing a lot of clearing at allotment over the last few days, planting out and all sorts still waiting on judge may be this weekend
weard day so hot sunny, then cloudy and then lot later thunder and lighting and lots of rain - just finished watering plot so double soak nearly flooded places and got really wet trying to do combination lock to get out of allotments
One of the near ish neighbours got chickens 4 brown ones
If I said to you all make a cake called "summer fruits" - what would you put in the cake?
Gardengirl, I have never made a cake but I would put in currents , gooseberrys , rasberry , strawberry ? and what was growing , however , not sure these would bake very well
Garden Girl, sorry missed your post re jam have made rhubaord and blackcurrant, Strawberry and bison on Berry, gooseberry and rhubarb , gooseberry and clementine. No more jam making, although we are due to have a good Pearl harvest!!!

Well done GWRS.
I got two 2nds and a 3rd, but only entered 9 classes and two of those were cakes.
There were a lot of entries for the cake sections. Thought my lemon drizzle cake was worthy of a place, definitely robbed there...?
Well done Zoomer , I'm sure your show was a lot more testing , lemon drizzle sounds fad ?
Just had a piece of " family cakes " and tea in garden , that o/h made for show
Brilliant all well done, like the trophys GWRS

Thanks GWRS - think strawberries sound nice in a cake, may try that with blackberries free from just off end of plot
