This Booklet was put through Letterboxes in areas covering 15 locations in the Northeast. When looking at the front page what did I see ? Only my garden!!  This shows the bottom of the page--  The photograph was taken last year when I won /Best Front Garden' I am 'dead chuffed'!! ;D Although the heading says "What else did we Sponser?" Reading about it --It means that Home Housing Sponser "Britain in Bloom" not my garden- ;D |

Thanks FB, Jenny and BM for you lovely comments-I was thinking about entering again this year but think I have missed the 'Closing' date-
There is one snag though--Strangers think they can come and 'view' this small patch (one on either side of the path leading to the Front door) and probally leave disappointed ;D
Thank Goodness and Fingers crossed I haven't had any Containers or Acers pinched yet which has happened to some Gardeners in the area. I will let you know how I get on this year.

I took Mr and Mrs FB to an NGS garden when they came up - it was very interesting (FB fell asleep tho in a chair in full view of everyone - had to disown him)  I put a large brick in my containers Biggy, at the bottom, puts people off trying to half-inch them as very heavy by then |

Good for you Biggs, your famous  Your little patch deserves the recognition. Did you find out if you've missed the closing date for this year. |

The closing date is June 30th so I might get it in time--
Jenny that is a good 'tip' putting a brick at the bottom of the Container--I will have to remember next time I plant up or re-pot another one.
Being on this Board does help by giving me encouragement and inspiration by all members. Thanks everyone--
