Right then, bang up to date now. 3rd September was the 2nd Annual flower, veg & produce show at Mancetter. This year carried on with the same high standard as last year. The only down side to this years show was the absence of Mr George Freestone who was in Hospital & so couldn't judge the flowers section. His place was ably taken by Mr Dave Bates who is not only a national dahlia judge but also writes the column on Dahlia's for garden news. This didn't hinder him though as the best vase of flowers in the show was a vase of Peter Rowe, a beautiful yellow incurve & this one couldn't have been better!
The standard of the dahlia's was quite high although it had been a tough year with the extreme heat here are a few.
The last Vase is quite poignant as the man who bred the parent, Mr Eddie Durrant of Coventry, died earlier this year.
He has a Fitting memorial in Kiwi gloria & it's sports (this one is Trelyn Kiwi)
