Hi Hugo,

Excellent. Many thanks for this pic. The journals are nearly as good looking as all the caudiciforms that our Chief Mod has been drooling over.:lolbt:
Cheers,
Colin

The way to a greenhouse is through a man's stomach. :)

I don't know about you but I always found the best way to a greenhouse is down the garden path and in the door, think your route might be a bit messy ::o :neer::rofl:

A load of washing and ironing and not a great deal more really. Well I suppose about 30 plants. It might just be me but overall I did not think the standard of plants on offer was quite as good as last year. I must admit though I go as much for the social side as for the plants

Hi Roy
All I kept hearing was it was better last year and some sellers had not gone and you could tell by the empty tables
