Talking about garden competitions takes me back some time ago now,when it was suggested that we enter for the Aberdeen in bloom competition. Well although we were very keen gardeners it would never have occurred to us to take it so far, nor at the time would we have considered ourselves experienced enough to participate. So if any of you have been thinking of doing this, go for it you will find that it is great fun, and very satisfying when you see people stop to admire your work. Well when I say your work, it is not entirely true, for it has all been handed to us by mother nature. None if it would be possible without the sunshine and the rain, the flowers although tampered about a bit by mankind, only slightly changes what already was there. When I find people saying your garden is beautiful, I very often agree, not because of my inflated ego, for well do I know where it comes from. So go on, with a bit of luck on our side, we may well see you next year.
