Winter pots

8 comments


Just finished doing my winter pots ready for the cold! We have already had a few frosty and foggy mornings up in Shropshire.

Having said that I have also included a picture of my summer pot collection which is fading fast but just can’t bring myself to get rid of them. Maybe a few more weeks/days left? Waiting to get my bulbs in once summer bedding has faded.

They are still looking too fresh and good to clear out, I would be exactly the same Amsterdam, I have been out today to get plants, bulbs and heathers ready to sort mine out for the winter displays, have to pot up my geraniums first though as they are in my baskets and mangers....

That's a very pretty collection - they go so well together. I'm hopeless at gettning out summer bedding and pots - have to wait until they are really dead - which is probably why most of my containers get tulips, when its too late for anything else...

I've got my bulbs all ready and am ready for a change! Spent all day in garden with a gardener who helps me with hedge cutting and tree felling. Luckily it didn't rain as was forecast and it was really warm today -18C!!
