Allotments 4 All

On my return from my trip around the gardens of Scotland I found these two gardens in the border counties.

The first Harmony Garden in Melrose was most enjoyable.

It was quite small just the size I would have loved to look after if I had my time to live over.

I met Paul the gardener and we had a very constructive chat.

He was concerned about his onion crop and how to get them dried for storage purposes. I explained how I did mine and he seemed quite inteested in it.

We also discussed the merits of J*yes fluid and armill*t*x as a fungicide.

This is the garden; http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk/Slide%20Shows/Harmony%20Garden/harmony%20garden.html

The next was 'Floors Casle' in Kelso where the walled garden was something to die for.

I wasn't overly impressed with the 'Parterre' I thought it was too big and one couldn't get to a high enough vantage point to appreciate the work that had gone into it.

So to my mind there was a lot of wasted space!

But thats only my opinion ......you judge for yourselves!...Tg

Glad you enjoyed them.

I was on my own!

The other half doesn't particularly enjoy me snap snap snapping all the time she would rather go shopping!

Good pics.  You were in my local gardens.  I haven't been to Floors yet this year and notice  it isn't as colourful as previous years.
