Pots, pots and yes even more pots!

As a few of you know i’ve been having a garden re-vamp the last few days now i’m at the ‘where shall i put the pots’ bit, i’ve just realised how many i have! Some are full of things i’ve rescued from the bit that’s been dug over and gravelled, others are full of plants i have no room for !!


There are a few Clematis in there think i’ll treat myself to some bigger pots and plant the Clematis in them then put them along the edge of the garden against the garage wall. The builder has made a couple of little borders where i can plant the Aqueligias and Hardy Geranium (Johnsons blue) they should do well as its partly shady.


The ‘rockery’ (i use that term loosely!!!) looks like i’ve buried OH lol!!


this used to be the old pond, i hated getting rid of it but the liner had gone (been in 20 years so doesn’t owe me anything) and it was just more work so decided to make a rockery, I filled with rubble at the bottom then the builder just tipped the topsoil he dug up onto it, need some nice stones from somewhere now and of course some plants, think i ought to get some grit to make it better drainage.
The rest of the garden is looking nice and green after the recent rain :o)

Ha ha I agree with Linclass, you will be placing and replacing I even got the OH to build shelving at the bottom of the garden so I could have more pots and I switch mine aroud all the time:) Looking good SK.
