Rachel's Journal

Really enjoyed pictures of both gardens what a treat - had a look at your own pictures for July as well everthing looks so lush and the borders are looking really beautiful

How come those snails are only travelling along the plants and not chomping them to bits??

Great photos Rachel, despite the weather.

Myrtle your new area in the front has come on so well, looks great. 

If i didn't see Myrtles garden with my own eyes,then saw through your camera,,thanks for photos Rachel!

 And you have more photos from Helen's garden as i have :) 

Ha Ha Rachel, that is where the similarity ends! So wish you were here this morning as the sun is shining, so sad Liga you couldnt come.

Fran, thanks, you know you are welcome anytime.

love the pic of those two well-fed snails

just seen the photos of both gardens they look fantastic well done they are gorgous. your garden is stunning myrtle 

Mary, thank you :)

Moya, I think the best gardeners must have secrets that they are not prepared to reveal!

Thanks, Fran :)

Liga, you had more sense than to take your good camera out in the rain!

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that, Myrtle.

Thanks, MaryJoe & Kitty.

Rachel and Liga, delighted you enjoyed your visit to Helen Dillions garden despite the rain. We were there on Thursday and were blessed with the weather. Sorry we were not able to go on Friday, but I only got there on Thursday because Paddy had a meeting in Dublin. Her garden was beautiful and such a collection of plants. Rachel, you were so lucky to visit Myrtle's garden and what a beautiful garden. Her arrangement of colours are just beautiful and her new pathways will enable her to use her garden during bad weather. Maybe next time we can visit with a large number of Garden i.ers. Mary

Mary, Just read your comment! You would be very welcome to visit my little garden but the thought of a "large number of Garden.iers" would terrify me, not to mention the fact that it just isnt big enough:)

Myrtle, that is very kind of you and I will certainly take you up on your kind invitation. Mary

Just send me a message whenever you can come :)
