Preparing for judging

click here for a larger imageHere we are getting the garden looking good for judging by the Daily Mail Judges. I'm just recovering from a major abcess in my tooth, had finally got to sleep because of the pain, when I get a call from the Daily Mail can the judges come and see my garden next week....panic, if you'd seen the garden a week ago you'd have been shocked, in parts it was full of 3' high stinging nettles and other general huge weeds. Luckily my friend from my RHS class Jayne, agreed to come and spend the afternoon helping.
