    The Melplash Show

    This is a lively one day event held in the fields adjoining the West Bay plot.

    Got parking for a few cars by prior arrangement.

    Tickets are £16 on the gate or £14 if bought online.

    Tickets

    Can't provide any food, but can do tea/coffee/soft drinks/water at lunchtime, plenty of food stalls at the show and we could have a GC get together for lunch :)

    Free tour of Zigs plot and greenhouse should take up a few minutes of the day too :snorky:

              I normally recoup all of my travel/camping expenses by bringing home a couple of 40L electric chiller boxes laden with filleted fish, caught from the beach early morning before the car parking charges kick in.

                            You probably know that with runner beans, if they're not straight enough, you can straighten them a bit by wrapping them tightly in a damp teacloth. :blue thumb: That's a good way of storing them, in a fridge, anyway if you've picked them some days beforehand.

                            I pick them when they are ready for picking even if it's a week before. Each day I pick and sort suitable ones, wrap them, and then take the best six on the day.

                            We, of course, have a slight advantage when it comes to a choice of runner beans. :snorky:

                              That's a handy tip Shiney :)
