....Nigel writes that "the Summer Solstice garden featured on PM yesterday -- complete with green wheatfield, fruit, veg and in-garden kitchen -- has won a Silver Gilt Flora award at the Chelsea Flower Show.

The judging system is particular to the Royal Horticultural Society, as is its use of capital letters. Any number of awards can be given, or not given, from Gold through Silver Gilt Flora, Silver Flora and Bronze Flora to, and it's a particular depth, "no award".

Eight gardens get Gold this year, four, including Summer Solstice and the garden in memory of George Harrison get Silver Gilt Flora. The sole "no award" among the show gardens was the Simply Italian UK Ltd garden.

Lady Carole Bamford and her organics company are behind the Summer Solstice garden. "It was our very first attempt and we were feeling our way. Our garden has a very different ethos and resonance from many other gardens at Chelsea.

"The message wanted to convey was a garden in which people grown their own food naturally and organically showing practical could also be beautiful."

Here she is once again with her head baker Simon Spears and designer Tomasso del Buono in the Summer Solstice garden. You can see the open kitchen, not entirely practical for an English summer, behind their backs.

And some more snaps I took of the planting":
