The bad news is that no-one will speak to you for the next 20 years ...
I am sure you are kidding Paul!
When I was exhibiting I found the opposite was quite common! In fact if anything, many people would approach "the winners" and ask for advice on what they should do to improve their growing methods.
In fact in my case the interest was so intense people asked me to form a gardening club something I had never considered. After talking the idea over with a few of my ' fellow exhibitors' we decided to give it a try.........the club lasted around 25 years before it folded through lack of new members.
So congratulations John milk the feeling while you can!
