We are very pleased with the result, we'd have liked a gold medal obviously, but to be awarded a silver-gilt at a horticultural show is very good.
The public absolutely love it and are saying how lovely it is to see all the colours in the flesh. It makes all our hard work worth while to see their reactions.
For the second year running the sniffer-dogs took a fancy to our stand and ran all over it with muddy paws minutes before the judges where due to arrive yesterday, I could have done without that!
It's not easy to look after the stand and watering is particularly tricky. We have long hoses lances and are just grateful that it's sunny but not too hot!
