Bulbs, bulbs, bulbs.

Thought i,d planted the last of my bulbs, but out shopping today I spied a few bargains and bought some more bulbs, including Aqueligia and Chionodoxa, also managed to pick up a nice wee Rhodadendron, I would have bought more of them but can only carry so much.
It will give me something to do in my days off..(on holiday for 12 days).
My wife Yvonne brought me home some large tubes from her work and asked if I could use them for anything in the garden.

so I stacked and screwed them together…

Like so.. then took them apart again and painted them.

then filled them with rocks, sand and gravel, then added compost and a few plants, Blue fescue, golden ivy and golden sedge,... and ended up with this…

Now I just need to decide where to put my bulbs and plant up my Rhodadendron.
