  • Very Highly Commended!!!

    OMG!!!!!!

    The results of the Trafford Allotment Judging Competition for our site have just been announced, Pat (our fellow beekeeper and site secretary) just rang, there's 3 plots who received a Commended, 4 plots who got a Highly Commended, and 2 plots who got a Very Highly Commended.......... plots 1 & 2, or for those not in the know, both of our plots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its almost as exciting as when in December 2006 I was made the grapevine MOM! Lol!



    Plot 1 - Very Highly Commended!



    Plot 2 - Also Very Highly Commended!!

    We both hoped that this year we'd be able to get at least a commended, as we've never got a certificate at all ever before, but neither of us thought we'd ever get one plot to a Very Highly Commended, let alone both of them!!

    The prize is a certificate, a framed piccy of your plot and a presnetation from the Mayor of these at the Trafford Gardeners Evening in September! Only problem is I dont like having my piccy taken, and it will be taken with the mayor and then go into the local papers! Lol!

        You both deserve this so very much. I can remember seeing your plots when you had just started and you have done a fantastic job in a few short years. Well done to you both asnd enjoy the presentation (and don't worry about the piccy)

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.

              Dead chuffed for the 2 of you As the others said, can't think of anyone that deserves it more - such hard work you've put into the plots, and never shy of helping out others too. Well done Dobby and Mrs D
