Right, confession time we have been to the garden centre and I have thrown caution to the wind. Sixty quid spent in an hour - it takes days to earn that amount and there I go blowing it in less time than it takes to think, "let's just check how much money there is in the bank and then think about spending". Yikes!
Anyway, the damage is done and I'm not too unhappy about it (although I still haven't plucked up the courage to see if my wages have covered this latest indulgence.
I've also found a pretty lead birdbath for the focal point but that will have to wait - I can't spend any more this week!
Here I am, surrounded by my pots.
I've decided to dot a couple of them around as of course I have bought more with my eyes than with any thought to the space they are to go into. I'm going for a pink, blue and white front which will hopefully blend into blue, lemon and white before the clashing colours of the original top corner of the border which is purple and orange. I know, I can hear the shrieks from here but I'm hoping it will work if I smudge the lines between each colour change and blend them in to one another. We'll have to wait till the summer before knowing if it's worked or is a disaster. The great thing about disasters in the garden though are that they can quite easily be corrected by digging and repositioning.
