So those 'Don't Know' labels would come in very handy here :) Alternatively I could send you a seed packet with a set of tick boxes showing the names of the seeds collected and you fill in the right one by ticking the appropriate box when it comes up for you.

I've seen her arrange flowers on GW before but her style???? Can't say that I noticed any particular style but maybe that's just me. ;-) Can I order some Don't Know labels from you as I think that they will come in very handy for next years labelling disasters. ;-) I’d like to enter a flower arrrangement too but am not sure what style Sarah Raven has.

There are loads of seeds, most of which get scattered as I gather them. Now I will have to buy nice white envelopes for the swop- and people will believe what I write on them!!. La Raven should look out- your flower arrangement is lovely. Good luck. Linda <em>Linda - I am jealous - you had dry bits over the weekend! Thanks for the nice comment on the flower arrangement - I must doing the flower arrangement has spurred me on to think about a cutting garden a La Raven :) now if I can just get shedman to dig up some more garden .....

I'm thinking of entering a flower arrangement and maybe some Dahlias and scones in to the show but my flowers are so soggy at the moment with the never ending rain I cant see that they will be presentable, perhaps we can get EmmaT to introduce a new category - soggy arrangement! <em>Ah-Haa - that is the key - a good supply of paper bags - I knew there was something lacking in my seed collecting - I think I will have to add - "black marker pen that works" as well.
