Don't panic OH. :lol:

I have a load of photos that I'll be sending to Jason this evening. He says he'll put a Malvern gallery on here. Also Steve (Ott) took a group photo for the website/magazine.

Someone MUST have taken the group picture!
I must see if my mental picture of the gang is a true and accurate one. :D
The picture of the back of Tigger`s head is a start. :D

I agree with Tigger about the lack of plants and seeds around at Malvern this year. I went with my list and got 3 things I wanted. That was it.....

I was disappointed at that.

However, walking through the food hall I did get a very good glimpse of a certain Mr Martin and, I have to admit that, in the flesh, he is rather dishy. He can cook in my house anytime. :twisted:

Grock, Mum and me had a fab day and i'm still stuffed from all the lovely grub. Next year, i'll try to remember to pack the little things: plates, knives, cups, etc.

Great to meet everyone and hopefull we haven't scared off Colin M and Judy and they'll want to join us next time....

I also think Herby was lurking around.......there was a little man shuffling about in a nasty raincoat and flat cap. Was it really Old Herbaceous? :twisted:
Lots of love

Lizzie

It takes more than a picnic to scare me!

The Autumn show is always gadgets and giant parsnips. It's the Spring show (mid May, 2 weeks before Chelsea) when you have to leave the cheque book at home.

But I did find a long-handled bulb planter that seems (if its weight is anything to go by) fairly sturdy. Time will tell and I'll test it when it stops raining.

Hi All,

We have a nice group photo we'll place online just as soon as Cpt. Carrot gets it off his camera and sorted out.

I'm busy doing the November issue updates for the site, but will get the photo online as soon as I get it.

Pictures can always be popped on the forum, but it would be nice to have a gallery on the main site of images too - so if you have any nice pictures, send them in - along with a caption if possible, to: kgwebmaster@kitchengarden.co.uk

Well what a wonderful day. Weather was just right for a change. The picnic was made all the better by the new faces Heyjude, Colin M to name but a few.
Poor Lyndon having to cope with an orgasmic Tigger!!
Chantal having a whole £10 note all to herself!!
Seedling produced a wonderful home made loaf which really was tasty and I am hoping that she will post the recipe on forum. Any chances ???
If it had not been for poor Lizzie who very bravely lent me her elbow and led me round the show I would not have managed to see most of what I did. I only hope that it didn't spoil her day bless her.
I feel that this has to be the very last show that I will manage. (OK cheers from the gallery!)
I would like an honest opinion from anybody who tasted my Tomatoes as they were part of an experiment using Comfrey and no other form of nutrient from sowing to picking. I will post all about the experiment later on today.

Just wanted to say thank you all for a wonderful lunch on Sunday. It really was rather special meeting you all and putting faces to names. Captain Carrot also wants to say thanks but he is rather busy at present and in a panic because he has forgotten to include the infamous KG subject index that goes in the December issue! :D

Hi Lady Lettuce,
Being my normal thick self I didn't realise that you were Lady Lettuce. I can now put a face to you.
Do you think that I live up to my Avatar? Some say the Avatar is more lifelike!
Sincerely,
JB.
