We get a lot of late frosts where I live, so I don't put my bedding plants into the tubs and troughs until the end of May. Last Saturday we went early to the garden centre, before the Bank Holiday crowds arrived, and bought compost and a pile of plants. We also got a large ceramic planter for Brian to repot 'his plant', more of that later.
Some of the trays of plants
Here are some of the stone troughs planted up with bizzie lizzies & petunias
Bizzie Lizzies (Impatiens)
Geraniums
More Bizzie Lizzies
Fuschia
Courgette
Over on the patio, there are more pots and wooden barrel type containers
and a couple of old stone containers which started life as water containers
for hens!
and this is Brian's 'Pinus Mugo' in it's new container.
That's a lot of planting, Janice - well done x
ReplyDeleteBizzie Lizzies... that's a cute name. I have been growing impatients in window boxes for many, many years. The bunnies can't get to them but I have chipmunks and squirrels that dig into them.
ReplyDeleteYou have accomplished much. As your weather warms you will have overflowing flowers everywhere! Hope to see some late summer photos :)
very nice :) i like the water containers :) and i'm sorry but i was expecting a HUGE plant from brian LOL
ReplyDeleteI do love the "hens" containers Janice they look great. Not sure on "Brian's plant" though. haha

It's always amazing how the compost just seems to disappear. Glad it doesn't just happen to me!
ReplyDeleteHope the plants take well & we get to see them again in a months time or so... Good luck.xx
