Help!

Post by yardmom »

I wanted to enter into our local leaf show today, but I can't find a flawless leaf!!!!! Are they automatically out if they have a teeny tiny flaw?

From my understanding, they aren't automatically 'out' - but point deductions will be made.

Hey, I recognize those tablecloths! and that gorgeous leaf!

You did better than I did. Several "best of section" but no promotions to the head table. It's all fun, though. And a great way to introduce some people to hostas (the show was held in a room just off the lobby of a very popular public library in suburban Wilmington, Delaware.

Did you come up to my house for the garden tour? Who do I translate "yardmom" to?
