Everyone's got something to say about Chelsea. Dipping into the floral blogosphere this week gives a good perspective on how this year's show will be remembered...

James Alexander-Sinclair has some behind the-behind-the-scenes observations of his tour with HRH on Monday

Photographer Howard Sooley picks his favourites for The Guardian.

Martyn Cox has launched a special Chelsea celebrity bingo competition

Meanwhile a relaxed, show-garden-free Cleve West has been looking in from the sidelines.

planting_trees.jpgHot day on site. We took in our first delivery of trees today which was very exciting! The reality of our first tree on the plot was a real moment, after all this planning and talking we are now doing.
Bacon butty van arrived much to everyone's joy and there's a good feeling in the air. Hey we're feeling generous at the moment, letting both of our neighbours use our skip...........but we may need to call in a favour later on.
Wildflower meadow arrived, it's perfect, I even saw a bee checking out the bubble wrap protecting it.
Travelled home to Cumbria thinking this is all great and everything's under control. Five phone calls later and I'm worried about potential hedge gaps, wonky circles and off set trees. I'm turning round and going back at 6am tomorrow....................


It's press day at the show and the designers have put final touches to their gardens, and are awaiting the verdict of the judges. I've picked out some exhibitors and designers that I think are going to do rather well.
