Evening, and sending good wishes.
This coming Saturday is our local Village Show! (Archers listeners, think Flower & Produce 
)
A few neighbours suggested that I should enter my hanging basket. Despite living in the village for 15 years, I have never entered anything before 
Mr P made it very clear that he didn't want me to enter it, as he was sure it would be damaged in transit 
So, with the deadline for entries approaching (Wednesday, 8pm) yesterday afternoon I trundled round to the show secretary's house, paid the fee and submitted my entry form!
I now only have to get it to the village hall.
Now, my hanging basket is BIG! 16" across and very heavy!
It has been suggested that the best option would be to hang it from a broom handle and get a couple of strong people to take an end each and carry it, as putting it in a car or van might result in damage.
My neighbours son is a big strong lad and has offered to help, but Mr P is flatly refusing to be on the other end.
I'm pretty determined to get it there, even though I probably don't stand a chance of even getting placed, the whole thing is VERY competitive!
Wish me luck in getting it there, and if I do, a bit more luck in the thing getting the judges approval!
Luckygirl a certificate and a small cash prize, which I donated to the fund.
Next year I will up my game and enter a patio container as well (should have entered one this year, but didn't think they were good enough, see pics), the best entry in the hanging basket or patio container wins the Bernard Vanstone Memorial Rosebowl!
