The prize giving for the Gardening Competition was yesterday evening. Due to my awful cough I wasn't able to go but J went with one of our friends. We hadn't expected to win anything this year as the unusual weather had played havoc with our plants.
Surprisingly, J picked up silver for our back garden and as it was getting so hot he and P were about to leave when he was called up again. This time to get silver for our tiny front garden. This was a real shock - as we hadn't even entered it!!!!! (we had noticed the judge photographing it as he left though)
Our front garden was a complete embarrassment this year - it looked as if Barbie lived here - everything turned out pink. Much as I love pink we definitely didn't plant for plain pink - it was meant to pale pink to deepest pink with blue, lilac and white. Even the 2 climbing roses, although pink but 2 different shades, came out exactly the same.
I will post some photos of the back garden which were taken on the day (when I get a moment). J didn't buy copies of the photos of him being presented with the awards as he said he couldn't see the point. I will try and see if I can get them though.
