I’m not sure what I’ll enter yet, it could be a vegetable or possibly some fruit, or even ‘a Floral Arrangement in a Wine Glass’, or I may convince Jackson to do an ‘Animal Using Veg, Fruit and Flowers (cocktail sticks may be used)’. Who knows?</p> <p><img src="http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/vegflowers.jpg" alt="" title="vegflowers" width="450" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2661" /></p> <p>But this whole thing got me thinking; we should have a mini Flower Show of our own, right here. Where you can display the fruit and veg (and flowers too) that you’re most proud of. Of course, points will be awarded for a photo well taken, and special care should be afforded to the presentation of said fruit and veg items. The use of doilies and fancy crockery is positively encouraged. And a prize will be given to the best in show.</p> <p><img src="http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/asters.jpg" alt="" title="asters" width="450" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2662" /></p> <p>Categories are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Display of home-grown vegetables (singular or assorted)</li> <li>One or a collection of home-grown fruit</li> <li>Cutting Flowers</li> <li>Display of garden-grown herbs</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gardennotes.jpg" alt="" title="gardennotes" width="440" height="293" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2663" /></p> <p>The prize is this cute little Garden Kit from <a href="http://www.thebalconygardener.com/shop/home/garden-kit/">The Balcony Gardener</a>. The kit contains a garden notebook, wildlife spotter notebook, stickers and a garden planner for drawing, doodling and making notes. The best in show photo will also make it onto the homepage of <a href="http://ukveggardeners.com/">UKVG</a>.</p> <p>All exhibits to be staged by Monday 6th September (ie. sent to me via email at gill@carsonified.com). The judge’s decision is final and all exhibits not collected after the show will be auctioned in the raffle (because there has to be a raffle, right?).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mytinyplot/~4/ObZmNSt3CVM" height="1" width="1"/>
