Well done Myrtleford, a great show, and well done Shibui Not sleeping with the judge are we

Quite obvious you did not see the judge Bodhi
With over 20 years experience in showing fruit and veg, flowers and plants and preserves of all sorts I have learned quite a lot about what qualities judges look for and how best to present an entry to make it stand out above the others. there really is a lot more to benching flowers than just sticking them on the table. I was not really prepared this year. Many of the jams and preserves were just run of the mill for home use rather than well presented show entries o I as just lucky that there was no real expert competition.

For those who have not yet tried, take a look at your local shows and have a go. lots of fun and test your skills against other producers/growers.

Next year I might have to enter my fig
Jam.? Is that some kinda new bonsai?

[shibui]

Could be but not sure which category to put it in. I got first with a really nice fig and apple jam in the cooking section though.
