orkneypaul Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi folk,Looking for some advice from gardeners in Shetand ( judging from some of the impressive gardens I have seen up here there must be quite a few) for next year as in time to plant, what does well and what does not, mainly looking to grow vegetables and herbs. Advice from any green fingered folk would be much appreciated.Thank you.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorrie Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Get hold of a copy of 'Horticulture on the Edge' by Alec Henry - a well known Shetland gardener. Not cheap, but very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
