The edible garden show

[bearded bloke]

I think Joy Larkcom rates them - or is that Texel greens? Got those too

Yep,just checked & she favours Texel greens

BB wanders off to look up a new to him type of greens

[salome2001]

... actually, just realised that she'll be in the car seat, so that's a big Stokke pram with a navy blue car seat...

But still at James Wong. Might ask him why not a single plant germinated from my Stevia seeds.

Cool,noted that ^^ Salome & blue pram

On the subject of cool things, I seed swapped a some lettuce seeds yesterday that had the best name I've seen...

I like Fringe Headed Drunken Woman Lettuce Seeds, Eclectic Victorian Vegetable Seed from Pennard Plants I've no idea what they taste like but the name is irresistible

At least you got some seeds in your seed packets!

From the name alone, I have to grow these.

Edit - you rotters - it's out of stock!!

Well we had a good day at the EGS sadly did not meet any grapes but did meet Rachel from Moreveg,what a nice lady & Tim Jeffries (general manager) from DTBrown & his lady assistant with a winning smile,very nice peeps to talk to & very informative .
Anyone from the North,West or Midlands who is even thinking of going should deffo go tomorrow,as next year it will be moving to Ally Pally in Londinium

Sorry I missed you BB. I ended up only being there for an hour or so as I came across a reenactment market on my way to the show and just HAD to pop in (it's the other hobby!)
I did meet up with a couple of colleagues from work but it didn't take me long to get round and only bought a couple of pairs of gloves and a piece of cake! I'm not sure it was worth the £15 entrance fee
I popped in to Ryton gardens on my way out from the show and spent more there than in the showground!

I won't miss it

[bearded bloke]

Sorry I missed you BB.

No worries Linnea,so long as you had a good day,then all is well

[bearded bloke]

I won't miss it

That was not the consensus of opinion of the peeps I spoke to overs coffee/beer breaks,quite a lot of the stall holders were also debating the worth of the new venue.

[binley100]

Blimey the current venue was expensive enough for space, dread to think how much space will cost in London........They could have done so well with a more realistic pricing structure......

[bearded bloke]

VVG might not miss the event,but I bet all the local people that staff it will

[VirginVegGrower]

Read the threads previously. I was very enthusiastic first year, but I'm afraid there was nothing new that I could see to draw me. How the hell will they fill it at Alexander Palace? I'm sorry BB but the comments I've seen on here before, I now concur with. They've really got to up their game.

[hamesy]

Went on Sunday but I'll be honest I didn't think it was worth the money I paid to get it.
