Let me start out with "I hate to be judged"...that said, it's only the opinion of the judge. It doesn't mean yours was not worthy of a blue ribbon....At the last Fair, I helped the Garden Club clean the area and put out plants to be picked up. There was one plant (Red Ivy) that was wonderful....best plant there. It only got a red ribbon. I told the owner that it should have gotten 2 blue ribbons and that made her very happy. I don't see myself ever entering something to be judged.
