Default didnt win


as some of you know ant and i entered the housing garden competition. we had a letter today to tell us that we hadnt won. im not to bothered as our garden needing doing anyway. but the thing that really bugs me is that it is only ever elder ppl that win. they say they want younger ppl to get involved but hey a chance would be nice. how do they expect younger ppl to get involved when they put the standards up so high. like i can go and afford a tree for my garden costing £20/£30. not everyone can make there gardens look like a show garden,but thats what they expect. just thought id let you all know the result.

sorry that you didn't win hun.

I know what you mean, I think that some of the more elderly contestants take stuff like this really really seriously dont they?

yea but its like i said to ant they should give all ages a chance not just the elderly. i know a man who won last year with his big garden, but he had a pond full of flowers, he had also been to a garden place and spent £1oos on his garden. now i know theres loads out there who cant do that,it just puts the ones who have really tried to do there garden up look small.

yeah, i see where your coming from, its disapointing aint it?

Everybody should be given an equal chance.And they dont take into account that not everyone has 100's spare every week to spend on flowers

it is usually elderly that win but u gotta think most of them r retired and they spend all theirtime in their gardens... my grandad was a keen gardener... think must b an elderly sport!! hehe but a youngish couple won some sort of gardening award here.. so not always older people just majority!! lol

Ohh I am sorry to hear you didnt win. They dont give everyone an equal chance and they should. I mean someone may of spent 100's of pounds of their garden and it looks lovely and others might of spent hour's of their time making it look good. I think its the ones that spend the time making their gardens look lovely should win.
