I couldn’t possibly leave Chelsea without shooting this small video of the South Africa display, truly beautiful.

You get everything at the Chelsea Flower Show, from exquisite Peonis to a pick up truck full of roses and Morris Minor driven to the middle of flowers!!

A lovely display of mixed vegetables from Sea Spring with some interesting Chilis. Another great herb display from Kitchen Garden Plant Centre. As usual an amazing stand of plants from South Africa showing different kinds of Proteas

Some more pictures from the Chelsea Flower Show. Some creative use of vegetables as well.

Two excellent stands from Hoyland garden Centreif you like Lillie’s then Harts Nursey take some beating. Also Daffodils middle of May! Only at Chelsea Show do you see that!

Sweet Peas Mushrooms and something that resembles a horse!

Met Lee Mack and his wife and we had a lovely chat together over coffee

Some pictures from the Chelsea Flower Show. Blackmore and Langdon always have a fantastic show of Delhiniums and Begonias. Burncoos from Cornwall have staged what I consider to be one of their best ever.

My annual visit to the Chelsea Flower Show on press day. As always a fantastic site see giving me pangs of regret that I’m not there with my vegetable display. Dibleys have an amazing display of Streptocarpus with an entry in plant of the year

Harvested my first Toughball onion today from the 60 I have growing in nothing more than a 6 inch deep Link-a-Bord. They have grown really well and I should be able to match up a few sets!

Planting some spare exhibition onions in a raised bed at home. A total of 35 in the same bed that I had a phenomenal crop of carrots from last season.

@PatMasterman What’s your problem re gooseberries?

@medwynsofangles I know you are an expert on veg but have you knowledge on Gooseberries please?

Lifted some carrots this morning that were sown 12 months ago!!

@Dirtfarmr One might think so, but the variety Sweet Candle holds really well. Another couple of weeks and they would have been unfit. They came from a raised sandy loam bed of 4 rows. I have never had such a huge crop. I never thinned them excessively either and shared a huge amount.

@medwynsofangles Not to be a downer, but those are pretty woody now, aren't they?

A look at my Toughball onions that are intended for the 250grm class as well as a couple of tips towards that elusive Red Card

Some interesting facts regarding apples when I interviewed Gerald Edwards at the RHS Late show last year. Worth a listen.

Last year at the RHS Harlow Carr Late Autumn show I interviewed Adrian Baggaley regarding an apple that tastes like Pineapple!

This video is how I plant my 250 grm onions in some narrow raised beds that were made by linkabord. The quality of the product was so good its lasted me around 20 years. The compost I use is Humax multi purpose original

Gathered some tomatoes and beet this morning. Beet is quite large but it will be juicy in the centre as the variety is Pablo, a show winning cultivar with great internal colouring. Toms were sown 1/3 but planted late so still have more left in the cold greenhouse lovely jubbly!!

They're the best variety I've grown Medwyn. They had a bit of thrips earlier in the season but it somehow cleared up and honestly I haven't sprayed them with anything. I've still got a few growing and they're as clean as a whistle.
