Navigating the Little Yellow Book should be a piece of pie, but it does groan somewhat under the weight of talent it promotes, all in the name of charity of course. Sitting in the sun today, with half a fence painted matt black, and a glass of wine, I did wonder if my garden will ever enter the NGS canon? A daunting task that seems now! I blame my hesitation on the sun and on the NGS listings, which are alphabetical and not by open-day date, which makes it harder to organise my diary.
But to these gardens I must go and check out the competition. Here's the N10 breakdown:

What fun. On certain days, at allotted times and with a minuscule charge we are allowed to spy on the neighbours, or at least see how the gardens of the other halves live.
