    a good shrub in a large pot that will look very good with the white fence, will be a sambucus black beauty .... the black foilage will also match the black furniture

      I cut the front grass today. A whole 5 minutes that took.:) I had some Gazania seedlings that weren`t doing much so planted them in the border and see what happens. Gave all the plants a liquid feed. Cut some Dianthus flowers for my better half (who is a bit poorly at the mo`). Potted up some of my purchases from yesterday and re-arranged my 'side bit' :loll: for want of a better description. It`s beginning to fill up now though :hapydancsmil:

              Mowgley, your front yard garden is so cute and geometrically pleasing! I noticed you've kept all of your flower placements symmetrical. Lovely attention to detail!

              Thx for all the nice comments :dancy:
              Another pic just took with the fence in
              Wanted to take the old battered concrete out but the quotes I got were ridiculous
              Geometrically pleasing the missus calls it OCD :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                Whatever , it's looking good.
                Bit of a "balanced look" in window boxes and baskets myself.Mowgley. I try not to be "parks and gardens" and have to force myself out of that mode a lot of the time,

                Ousted some weeds today, put the last of the plants in and fed/watered all my pots and baskets. Checked my tomatoes in the green house and they will be ready for picking in the next couple of days, at long last! :)
