 KITCHEN GARDEN COMPETITIONS
I always enter the monthly competitions but to no avail.
Has anybody on the forum actually won a prize or are they all in Mr Potato Heads shed

I got some hand cream once although that was one of those "1st 100 to send name on a postcard" things so not sent directly to Kg. Havent won anything else from it. I like when you get really hard competitions that you would have to go to the library for instance to find the answer, sticking a stamp on an envelope is not so much of a challenge is it

Never won a thing Piglet. What's more for some esoteric reason I read the list of prizewinners from last month's competitions and didn't recognize one of them. This though is probably not surprising as few of us use real names on the forum anyway. So, when do we raid Mr PH's shed?

I enter loads of competitions too - but I've never won anything either.
However, I entered a poultry club on-line raffle this year ( www.pekinbantams.com) and won a fabulous incubator - so you just never know.

I feel that its time to raid Mr Potato Heads shed, or check for him on ebay selling the prizes.

 We're like big brother...
We watch your every move, know exactly what's growing, where and when, and organise the competition entries on a basis according to zodiacal signs, moon phases and weather predictions. Then, we employ the services of a large goose to select the winners.
The goose doesn't like you... or you... or you!
(No, seriously, we get 1000's of entries by post and by the giveaways form online - just keep your fingers crossed!)

You may recall from a previous posting about courgette flowers that Tigger told me to "just keep rocking" whilst she sent the men in white coats round to take you away to a secure place. I'd like to pass on this advice to you Mr PH. Piglet and I will pop round to raid your shed whilst you're away.

 My shed
My shed only has spiders, chicken manure pellets and a bunch of crappy 'value' brand hand tools... but you're welcome!

The balaclave knitting continues apace, although it looks like you and Mr PH will be using them to raid MY shed! Does anyone have a knitting pattern for a Darth Vadar shaped balaclava?
