my customary quick tour of the benches. I hope others will add to this with more detailed close-ups and informative comments. Starting with section I class A for 6 small pots then working along the larger pot classes, plants grown from seed and into the many primulas.

Two teams of judges with stewards start work by 10 am as the show opens to the public at midday. This year the stewards carried a bin in which plants deemed unworthy of the show bench could be deposited. Finally Ken and his assistant add up all the points.

while the judging takes place most people visit the sales area. Here the local group members provide an excellent range of good value plants to buy. The best candidate for a caption on the commercial stands was Gavin of Macplants look of amazement as the Borders group convenor opened her wallet..........

Six nurseries fill the sales area and there is a rota as more would like to come than there is space for. This year it was Macplants, Rumbling Bridge, Kevock, Ardfearn, Binny and Aberconwy.

hilarity in the kitchen had to be tempered when the visitors ate all the food and more supplies had to be sent for
