Patio pot garden

It does become a chore ... I have cut back on pots too.

Yes I agree.

Ams, this year I was going to forego planting up the manger baskets for the front, but OH said how much he likes to see them, so I relented. That's another trip with a watering can full to water them!

I’ve got an all year round foliage hanging basket by my front door as it gets very hot in the afternoon. It’s got a skimmia, fern and ivy in it with some cyclamen bulbs for seasonal colour.

Sounds perfect!
