Allotments 4 All

I had the pleasure of visiting the Harrogate show yesterday the first time for a few years.

What I like most about the show is the society shows; where 'Amateur Gardeners' get the opportunity to show their produce in a 'Professional' manner.

Gone are the commercial 'Garden' displays, the nearest you get to that is when the societies rig up a display.

Plus I get the chance to meet people that I competed with and against in years gone by.

The criac was good but I'm sorry to say quite a few of my old friends are 'missing' shall we say :(

Here are a few of the pictures I took;

Great pictures of a good day out, Tee Gee. I loved the dahlias, made me want to grow more next year. I didn't realise they ever had "show gardens" at the Autumn show, thought it was just the spring one. And it was great to see so many thriving local nurseries and societies represented. At Hampton Court there wasn't much from north of Watford!

Nice images, Tee Gee ! thanks from those who couldn't otherwise see the show. ;)

Just lovely Tee Gee. Loved the carnations and fuchsias, 2 of my favourites. Thank you for sharing.

They don't and never have, this was the point I was making when I said;

 TG, thank you for the show the Fuchsias are beautiful i just love them my favourites, then the Chrysanthemums, i love those to, next year we are going to try Dahlias.

It is hard to believe all those dahlias are in the same family there is such a variety of form.
Thank you for sharing your pictures TeeGee.

Good pic's TeeGee, wish I had smelly 'puter'. (Probably have, but not the same sort of smell!)
