Hi,
Have spent the weekend planning my garden. Not literally you understand, there’s a lot of fantasizing over garden catalogues and pretending to myself that I have a huge garden with rolling lawns and great long stretches of perennial border.
The reality is a tiny suburban plot with a handkerchief ‘lawn’ (muddy patch)! Even if I use loads of containers I’m still never going to fit in everything that I want. I think that the reality is that I need to be very firm with myself about colour and stick to a white and purple scheme with a bit of pink. So I’m buying alliums, hydrangea’s, passiflora, aquilegia’s and papaver orientalis poppies. (For now).

I have lots of seeds that I simply must get started, this year I’m determined to have spinach and rocket on the go all summer.

Love this this very grand planter that I've seen on the website ‘Stone effect urn with Cherubs’ and I think that this would look fab planted up with some lilac bushes or perhaps a Sweetpea wigwam!

I also think that I can bring a little bit of chic French style to my garden with some wrought iron furniture. I adore this bench and I simply can’t believe that it’s only £225.
So I’m having two!

Ta ta
