Trophy wife

I know we've left the blog alone for a bit, but here's some news: at today's St Stephens Gardening Club Annual Show – our fifth, more anon – we won a trophy!

This year's results in full:
  • coloured potatoes (5) – no prize, but a Post-It Note read: "beautiful potatoes – a bit large for exhibition"















  • heaviest potato (998 grams) – 1st Prize!

















  • garlic (5) – 1st Prize and (get this) MacMillan Trophy for best exhibit in Class 1 (vegetables)!















  • raspberries (12) – Highly Commended











  • chard – nothing.
Our victory and trophy are all down to K's masterful arrangement of the garlic. It's our first – but not our last – trophy. Very exciting. We're on the road to the Big Time.

Picture of the happy couple to follow.

Very well done. (I see that the chard you gave me won nothing!!!).
Nice to see the blog up and running again.
