Well maybe enough to buy lunch if we don't eat too fancy....
Last week I received an Email from the President of the York Garden Club (the club I belong to)
She was asking people to please bring plants and participate in the York County Fair's Flower Show
So Ric and I dug out 13 of our plants I spent Wednesday cleaning them all up and making them look as nice as I could and we hauled them down to enter them in the fair on Thursday.
We have often talked about competing in a local Flower Show but never have so this is our first. I must say that we really did have a great time doing this even if we hadn't won anything it would have been a hoot. There were a few
discussions on which plants to take or not. Ric was still talking to me when we left to take the plants down to the fair. The excitement of comparing our plants to the others on display before the Judging and the interesting outcomes between our ideas of what the Judges might like and what they did like.
Now before I tell you about the pile of ribbons we have won and the pile of $1bills that will come with the ribbons.
I have to say that there really wasn't a lot of competition. Oh there were some really lovely and beautiful plants, planters and cut flowers. Just not a whole lot of them. 4 of the 5 begonias in the one category were Ric's and mine so the fact that we got a few ribbons in that class wasn't a complete surprise. The begonia that took 1ST place (not one of ours) was spectacular
So here is the list of what we won and some pics from the show.
