Failure! by happypat

Failure!

No winners for me in our horticulture tent!! This is our hanging basket which did not win any prizes. We only really grew it in case we hadn't many entries in that category but I thought it might have won 3rd place but too much competition. I did think it was a pretty simple basket & had been grown from tiny plants & hung outside whereas the winners had been hothouse grown & never seen the wind & rain so I would rather have ours...very low maintenance!

I will take more photos of the inside of the whole marquee tomorrow before the crowds come in!
Thank you for continuing to support my pictures !
Ahh - shame. You win some, you lose some ...

@bpaquette We thought so too & we get to take it home...the winner was for sale at £60 but the first wind & rain would ruin it! Thank you Barbara.

This basket looks so healthy and full! My choice any day! You must have had an exhausting day!

Do I sense a tiny bit of dusgruntlement? ;0). I would be fed up of the competition had never seen fresh air and I would be very grumpy about them winning!!! That's why I'm not allowed to enter things - apart from a Cat's Protection photo comp I got a third prize rosette in & I'm still dining off that!!

It's a total winner in my book, Pat! That is one gorgeous hanging basket!
