Having children and a job that requires me to be working in August, for many years I haven't had much opportunity to choose when I go on holiday - July.

Now I'm semi-retiring and will have much more choice (and only grown-up children).

Problem is, of course, being away from the garden for a long time (typically just over 4 weeks for me), means that weeds flourish, I miss my whole lily crop and the lawn grows to jungle proportions...

So when is the best time for gardeners to go on holiday???

Darn, I thought being in the garden was my holiday.

Fall for me. Late oct or so. I get my fall planting done and then I can walk away. Since there are no "real" seasons where I am, I like to go East or North and enjoy fall.

If you are a world traveler, It is always spring somewhere lol!

In your part of the world I would think getting SOUTH in the winter would be ideal...N. Africa in March is terrific...S. Spain or Portugal in the early Spring with the wild flowers.
