Thanks for the lovely show photos Joanella, I thought when I watched the TV coverage that it would have been great to visit...but alas, it is too far away for me. Perhaps one year we can go and stay overnight. Love the doorstop, much better than a tin of beans! :o))

I'm really envious of your visit to Tatton, Joan ... it looked great on the TV coverage ... cannot believe the size of some of those vegetables!

Your purchases look good ... hope you manage to name the ones with no labels ... lol! :o)

Glad to see you filled the boot of your car too. Having never attended a flower show before I was amazed just how many plants were on show and then on sale, but perhaps it was better I didn't know else I would have spent much more.
