Welcome
The year has turned and I have the pleasure, once more, of welcoming you all to a new gardening season and hopefully some fine exhibits for our Annual Flower Show in August. In early January 2012 we experienced one of the worst storms of the winter 2011/2012 but thankfully this winter, so far anyway, is benign and as I write it is, amazingly, 10° outside and calm. Our hobby of gardening means, of course, that we always have one eye on the weather and we can only hope that the coming spring and summer will not be a repeat of last year's wet and dull May, June, July and August. The temperature gauge reached the dizzy heights of 23.8°C for a week in late March and we were full of excited anticipation of a warm and sunny summer. Sadly, this heat was not experienced again until late August when for one day only 24°C was achieved and that was that as far as any ideas of an Indian summer were concerned! The wet summer took its toll on the plants and flowers in my garden, as well as yours no doubt, and it was a challenge to keep the grass cut let alone in any sort of condition to cope with lots of feet walking on it resulting in us having to lay astroturf on top of the 'grass turf' for our Open Day in July! Not something I wish to see repeated. Despite everything the weather threw at us, the dedication of our members and exhibitors was rewarded by the fine display showcased at our annual event – well done everyone and thank you.
It is said that all peoples of the northern hemisphere breathe a sigh of relief when the shortest day is reached and little by little the days begin to stretch out again. I very much hope that the summer of 2013 will prove to be a winner for us all and especially for the Annual Show of Musselburgh Horticultural Society and I look forward very much to seeing you all in August. Lindsay Morrison President January 2013 Annual Outing at Kailzie

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.

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.
