Welcome
A very warm welcome to this years Show Schedule. As I write this introduction (late in March), winter is finally being overhauled by the many wonderful signs of spring!
Last August, the Society had a really successful return to the refurbished Brunton Halls with a larger than anticipated return of exhibitors, exhibits and visitors on the day. It was a mad rush setting up the venue, display tables and getting used to the new facilities after four years away! However, it all worked well and after some hard work and effort coupled with meticulous prior planning, boy - did we have a Show!
The number and variety of classes available have been increased this year and are reflected in this schedule. I am sure that there is something in this booklet that everyone can have a go at. From the more traditional cut flowers, plant pots and vegetables to the differing challenges of home baking, photographs, needle working, hand crafts it’s all there for you to try your hand.
We have also introduced an on-line Advance Registration for our exhibitors via our web site www.musselburghhorticulture.org.uk see page 7 for details.
The Show is a great day out for all the family, so please bring along your other family members, children, neighbour or friend – they may just be surprised at what is on offer. The usual, refreshments and goodies will be available and there will be face painting for the young (and not so young) ones. The prizes at our raffle are always much sought after, so remember to buy a ticket or two before you leave.
So, can I encourage you to get the rest of your planting done, fill up the pantry with all the necessary ingredients and dust off and finish those little works of art that are so lovingly made, take a photograph or two or maybe prune up that old plant pot and come along to the Brunton in August and enter – we all will be looking forward to giving you a warm welcome.

Guide for Exhibitors
If you are reading this section the chances are you have never entered exhibits into a Flower Show. The first message to you has to be a big 'Welcome'. You will have no doubt heard of Shows where a three foot carrot is a short one, of chrysanthemums the size of footballs and onions where a single one could feed an army. They possibly do exist but it's very unlikely they will at our Show. We encourage all our members and their families to take part, purely and simply for the joy of the occasion. The show is a celebration of all things to do with amateur gardening; most importantly, it relies on you. Without your prize exhibit we simply don't have a Show. Hopefully these simple guidelines will help you select and prepare your exhibit. If you need further help, members of the Committee are more than happy to assist. First a couple of very general tips, followed by some specific help:
Make sure you have entered your exhibit into the correct Class; if in doubt ask a Committee member when you're setting it up.
Make sure you allow plenty of time to set up your exhibit; the more attractive it looks the better it will do.
Flowers
Flowers should appear fresh Care should be taken to support the flower spike or bloom vertically
using paper, moss, etc. Don't crush flowers together, especially in the mixed vase classes. Points are deducted if:
1. flowers are not fully opened or are beginning to fade 2. foliage is diseased 3. petals are eaten, diseased or damaged 4. flowers have been badly dressed (in other words, they look
untidy) 5. there is any soil, compost or other debris on the leaves,
stem or blooms A special note for Gladioli: the ideal flower spike has one third in full bloom, one third with buds in colour and one third with green buds.
– 5 –
Vegetables
Try to exhibit uniform sized and shaped vegetables, for example: three straight and similarly sized carrots.
Use as near blemish free and fresh as possible.
Clean using sponge and water, try to avoid any damage.
A few specifics:
1. Beets, Carrots, Parsnips and Turnips should have about 7 cm of stalk; they look tidier if you tie the stalks together.
2. Onions should preferably be ripe; again, tie the top to tidy up.
3. Cauliflower should have a 5 cm stalk.
4. Pot Leeks should have a maximum blanch of 15 cm.
5. Tomatoes should have a 2.5 cm stalk left on.
6. Rhubarb should be pulled, not cut and left with no more than 5 cm of leaf stalk.
Fruit
Fresh as you can get.
Apples should have stalk left attached.
Homecrafts
The presentation of jam is very important:
Use a jam jar – you can never get the smell of vinegar off pickle and chutney jars.
Cover jam with a wax disc before sealing with a paper, clear seal or a metal lid.
Label the jar clearly with the type of jam and date.

Wheat Sheaf Loaf NB: This is a suggested recipe only and not mandatory, please feel free to use your own. Ingredients 500 g Strong White Bread Flour or White Spelt Flour ½ tsp Salt ½ tsp Quick Yeast 1 tsp Sugar 300 ml Water 1 Egg
Method 1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, quick yeast and sugar. 2. Carefully measure the water and roughly mix it into the flour. 3. Knead well until the dough feels smooth and pliable. 4. Divide the dough into three pieces. 5. Take one third of the dough and roll out into a rectangle (the size of your
largest baking tray). 6. Cut out the shape of a large mushroom and place this on an oiled baking
tray. Brush the mushroom all over with water. 7. Cut the second piece of dough into 30 pieces and roll each out thinly. 8. Lay these onto the stalk of your mushroom shaped dough to make the
stalks of the wheat sheaf. 9. Cut the last piece of dough in 3 and make 20 small sausage shapes from
each piece. 10. Working from the outer edges, press the end of each one onto the top of
the mushroom to form the ears of wheat. 11. Using scissors make several snips in each wheat ear to create the
impression of grain. 12. Use dough scraps from the first piece of dough to plait a twist to lay
across the stalks of the wheat sheaf and to make a dough mouse. 13. Beat the egg and brush it all over the dough. 14. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.
