2nd Instalment. Garden Show.

Is that cabbage for real Cinders? wow

Yes, it was, and after we took the pic we realised it only had second prize, the first prize winner was even larger.

Great pics... and wow what a cabbage.... love the flowerpot man as well.... : O )

Thanks Holly, there were three flowerpot men, but they were walking and by the time I got my camera out they were almost gone.

those are great pictures cinderella! cant believe the cabbage, that strep was beautiful and what a lovely play hill for children.

Thanks Sticki. Yes it was a great show, and there were a couple more gardens, the strep was great wasnt it.

just beautiful, i can tell you enjoyed yourself!! were those alpacas ~ or llamas crossed with poodles? i liked them whatever they were.
oh and the watering can ~ thats great fun!!

Well there wasnt a sign up, I thought they were llamas, but the more I think about it, they could have been alpacas couldnt they. The watering can, well I don't know what you could do with that, apart from a feature.

hmmm bit like a chocolate teapot!!

Lovely,Cinders..Those Alpacas .or LLamas,are so lovable looking..and that huge Begonia in such a tiny pot! Amazing..another lovely blog,Cinders..and a nice picture of you as well:o)

Oh thank you. I think they might be Alpaca's don't you.
That begonia, how do they get them like that, the pot being so small there couldnt have been much soil in it.

Just Googled Alpaca's and I would say it definitely is.

Another lovely blog and pics, that cabbage is amazing, now I know why I don`t grow them anymore, I cannot remember ever growing one like that even in a good year.
Thanks Cinders for sharing your visit....

Your welcome Lincslass, and thanks for your comments

Lovely photos - feel I could feed the hamster for a while with the veg :D loved the fuchsia a lot - Looked a great day for you :)))))

Thanks Paul. You sure could have fed you hamster for a while on those carrots couldnt you.

oh yes :D very impressive :))))))))))))))

A great day out captured by the look of these photos, Cinders.. I hope that you found all you were looking out for, without too much temptation being put in your path...lol

Well I did get tempted, and now I don't know where to put the plants I bought. So they are staying in the pots for a few days while I think about it !!!

Ha! I thought that you might, Cinders...Now you know why I am staying away from Garden Shows at the moment! lol..

Interesting photos. Guess which one I liked best lol. I want all those cacti ......
Did you grow that big cabbage you're standing by ?

No Hywel, I couldnt grow a cabbage like that ! Great tho isnt it. When I took those pictures of cacti I was thinking of you. I knew you would like those.

Thank you :o)

lovely photo's. Sooo what plants did you buy from the show? And how did the flower pot man see where he was going ..did he have little peepholes???Thankyou for sharing with us.

Thank you Lisal, I bought Clematis Ville de Lyon, a Pennisetum Rubra grass, and a Heuchera Caramel. Would like to have bought more, but holiday coming up so pulled the reigns in. I couldnt see any holes in the flowerpot.

Sorry to be so late to this blog, Cinders! ... Those vegetables are amazing ... you could feed a small family for a week on the Cabbage alone . . . . .

Your forgiven under the circumstances Shirley !!! Yes, I agree. Don't think I would want such large veg myself.

Wouldn't have a saucepan large enough ... :o)))

Great photos in more ways than one Cinders.....

Hello DD, I've missed you. You been away ? Thanks for your comments.

Quite possibly Cinders, watch this space....!!
