Meganisi Island, Greece

We are back from our holiday on the beautiful Greek island of Meganisi. 

As a keen gardener, I just can`t help looking at, and taking photos of other people`s gardens and it is true to say that the Greeks have quite difficult conditions.....

the terrain, the soil, water and of course the heat (sometimes an advantage)

From me they get top marks for colour, recycling and the ability to squeeze a garden into the

 most unlikely places.

The owner of this garden obviously has pests of some kind to contend with.

Another tiny garden space in the hilltop town of Spartachori.

Geraniums and zinnias in pots even when there`s no soil.

Recycled oil cans for herbs and exotics.

Yet another use for old pallets.

 A good crop of peaches in Spartachori.

The insects are a bit bigger too.

This post is not really telling much about our garden but it is good to share what we have seen and what appeals to me. Tomorrow we will be visiting Freshwinds Garden to see how it has fared in a week.

Interesting photos to follow I hope.
