Given the lack of rain it was incredible that there were any entries at all at the Shoreham Horticultural Society Summer Show last week. But as usual the standard of the blooms was spectacular and always puts my garden to shame.
My modest entries from the vegetable patch did surprisingly well and I picked up a few firsts, the Sparrow Shield for my vegetable collection and even a 2nd for my blackcurrant jam.
I knew I should have added more cassis to it! Perhaps I am becoming a bit too obsessed as my wife claims when I ban any picking of vegetables without my approval in the run up to the show.
