    I have entered it in the past and done quite well, but stayed away from it for a few years due to mental health problems and a lack of interest in gardening.

    However, this year I decided to go for it because I was feeling better.

    Anyway, this week was judging week and the judges came around this morning (I am on holiday at the moment).

    They didn't stay long because it was pouring down with rain. It rained virtually all weekend as well, so I have not had much time to give it a final tidy up. Mind you, everyone is going to be in the same position with regards to the weather!
    Good luck Adam.

    Let's have some pics.

    Hmm. Went outside to water some potted plants that I've moved into a corner while I do other work in the garden. Seems I stood too close and watered my feet as well, so I'm squelching about in soggy beach shoes at the moment .

    Dog wanted in on the act too.

    Still working outside on the garage extension. Funny how modifying something is always more aggro than building from scratch.

    Still at it.

    New timber frame for the extended back end is up. Just been detaching the existing back tin wall, which is now inside the extension. I never want to see another clout nail, I must have battled with about fifty of the damn things getting them out after thirty or more years in place. Now I can set levels for the concrete floor extension. I'll poison the soil before laying anything on top, in order to deter the ivy growing roots underneath.

    Took advantage of the dry weather to get some concrete down for the garage floor extension. Done nearly half, mixing batches by hand (literally, up to my elbows in it ) in a big tub. Seemed the easiest way. I don't want to mix on the path. Got to be careful to get levels right. Colour looks consistent, so I seem to be gtting the mix about right. Not that fussy anyway, as long as it's strong enough.

    In case you haven't guessed, I loath gardening and only mow the grass because I have the neighbours to think of.
