Lindisfarne, Jekyll & Dried Onions

Last weekend we visited Lindisfarne  


 
Not far from the Castle is another national treasure: A walled garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll




The centre of the garden was a square bed of sedum surrounded by silver leaved plants.  I've never seen this plant being given such a prominant role. The effect was stunning and provided a contrast to the swathes of vibrant colour in the peripheral borders.



Back home it was time to bring the onions in 


 to dry off in the greenhouse.

  1. The onions seem to have enjoyed this year - I guess something had to
