What a trip! <br /><br />This is stirring fond memories because I used to live in Kent. <br />Sissinghurst was my favorite, with it's gardens within a garden and the beautiful warm-coloured brick buildings.<br />Great Dixter too, although I know that less well.<br /><br />Lovely pictures - especially the rich colour of the Tagetes, and the Eryngium is fantastic!Pruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666246741812501876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262838714930985428.post-38865925932315847712011-11-04T11:00:38.277+00:002011-11-04T11:00:38.277+00:00We share your joy!

Emory Paul is a favorite....sadly I was digging dahlias out of the ground this week.

'Emory Paul' and the aster... just amazing. <br /><br />Is it unusual for a head gardener to do heavy labor like Mr. Garrett? It shows his love and enthusiasm, I think. <br /><br />And regarding your last comment at WMG, I could not quite hear you. I have too many hoods over my ears to make it out.Wife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.com
