Photo Show suggestions...

[aquilegia]

It looks like I've volunteered myself to run a fun photo show....

I need lots of suggestions for classes - the sillier and more fun the better!

So far we have:

The root vegetable that looks most like a thingy. In association with Baldrick.

The smallest crop ever.

The most specatular failure.

You get the picture - we don't want anything that would normally appear in veg shows - so no biggest or best.

Get your thinking caps on...

Also should we have an entry fee that goes to charity or should it just be free?

- only veg?? = Tim

[aquilegia]

Oh no - we could do flowers, plants, animals, people on lottie, basically anything, as long as it's silly (and clean!)

[jammyd]

Nothing's ever clean on my lottie.... Oh! I see what you mean  :-[

jammy

[tim]

You'll have to scrub the carrots, then?? = Tim

Oh, and how soon can things be posted - and where? Like here, or on a web album?

How about the most original planter - people sometimes plant up wellies, loos, old cars etc

[kenkew]

Like that, Gillian. It's suprising what people will grow in/on/round/over what, eh? Try starting a new thread on 'ornimental supports', (or some such title.)

[Mrs Ava]

Right, I am nipping round to mums with me camera then.  She has a loo, urinal, lavvy cistern, bath tub, sinks, tin bath and  shoes all planted up.  Twas my dads fault, he was a milkman and would frequently come home with something he 'lifted' from a skip, and as we had no back garden as such, only concrete, they all formed the planters for me to grow things in.  Such class in Surrey you know!  ;D

Didn't you know that smoking stunts your growth?

[aquilegia]

I like it Gardener!

How about a captioned photo class too?

[Gardengirl]

How about a different thread for each category ie: Captioned photos, pets, unusual containers etc.  Anyone with a good idea could start a thread.  Then when there are so many photos posted have a poll on that thread to see who is the winner (or would that be too complicated ::) :))

Where's this Allotment?
A lively allotment society can negotiate, liaise, work with local councils,local firms,sponsors of a varity of kinds and local voluntary groups,social service departments, environmental and food growing organisations, civic trusts, to develop events to encourage people to visit a site for ecological work, and enabling youngsters to discover their confidence and self-respect in repairing buildings in the company of other plotholders, in ways that give people responsibility and responsiveness to the environment

This was taken from a book "The Art Of Allotments"
