Spring!

5 comments


Hi everyone tis I!
Spring is definitely here doesn’t it cheer you up? I have lots of pots full of spring bulbs, after they’ve finished I move them to the back of the garage where they die back over summer, then come early spring I top up the compost and bring them out again, seems to work well…so far!


Got some new plastic pots from a company online bit bigger than I thought! But I’m waiting on two Almenchier trees (snowy mesiphilus spelt wrong I think!) so will use them for those, just need OH to drill some holes for drainage ?


Ordered some petunias, fuchsias and some annual climber seeds, black eyed Susan and cup and saucer seeds.


My friends husband has made good our old bench, I think it looks brilliant and the colours you get for wood preservatives these days!


Happy Easter!

Hiya S'killa, we are making progress, not a lot of warmth outside yet but its grand to see all the spring flowers and the blossom, your pots look really colourful, I do that with some of mine, swap them around when the flowers are in bloom and then exchange later for my Lilies and Hostas, the garden seat looks like a new one again, I like the twotone look...Hope you are keeping well in yourself now....

What a very jazzy bench! Your new trees will look great in the new pots (until they get too big...)

Good to hear from you again, SK. Your idea of size seems similar to mine! I ordered a dog bed cover and it would fit a bed for a donkey rather than Millie. Never mind I've halved it and made two, not something you can do with the pots though!
