Our man Adrian Baggaley scooped the prizes again this year at the Royal Horticultural Society Tatton Park Show with fourteen first prizes out of his total of seventeen entries! He took the prize also for the best single dish of fruit in the show with a plate of Redpoll red currants. For the third successive year he won the Hogg medal for a collection of six dishes of fruit – Doyenné De Eté pears, Rouge Tardive apricots, Summer Sun Cherries, Hertford cherries, White Marseilles figs and Redpoll Red currants. And what must be a first in a July show exhibited a prize winning dish of Discovery apples. His basket of fruit was also a treat although it seems that the RHS has decided that in future everyone must use a standard green plastic trug for this class and not go for any showy receptacles!
Well done Adrian!
