Jim,
It not enough for a judge to visit seedling patches. They must also carry a
notebook. It unrealistic to think you can remember a seedling number later
to write it down. It doesn't matter how good the seedling is if you don't
vote for it.
I spent the last couple of years finishing a degree and had little time for my
iris garden-it was in sad shape by the time I moved. On show day, the judges
from the show would faithfully try to part the weeds in search of my
seedlings. Unfortunately, I was at the show.
