    I've made it into the final of a garden design competition run jointly by the BBC & RHS, the winner gets their garden built at Hampton Court Flower Show (July 8th - 13th). I'll be live on the show along with the other two finalists. They will be showing our garden designs and plant ID test from the Cardiff Flower Show a few days ago.

    Should be a bit of fun although I'm really nervous about being live on the telly. I've no idea who the invited guests will be - someone interesting and hopefully someone I recognise please! The lovely Christine Walkden will be there of course, and I'm hoping the other two Judges: Adam Frost (who will actually build the winning garden) and the Hampton Court RHS Show Director Dave Green.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me folks!

          I hate the one show. But will tune in to see your bit.

          Good luck with it. I'm sure you will do well.
