The ultimate compliment

I've just had a chat with my neighbours across the road (we are so lucky to have fantastic neighbours all round), who asked about my flower bags that I have at the end of the drive - they have just put up decking and balustrade, and were so impressed by my bags they were wondering where they could get some, and said that they loved what I had done with the front of the house - what a compliment!





I've got some spare bags and a wee bit of compost, so hopefully my neighbours will be able to get some surfinia or trailing fuchsias tomorrow and I'll plant them up for them. Its catching this gardening lark!

 

Thanks all

I was dead chuffed, not least as this particular neighbour has a really nice house - never thought I'd see the day that I was getting compliments about my garden though; best of it is, I don't really count the front as a garden, most of the work is in the back garden.

Jenny namaste - you could easily hang a flower pouch or two from the gate, which would be really pretty

It would compliment your lovely front garden really well

They are the eezee flower pouches that I got from T&M - probably available elsewhere I'd imagine.

EDIT - They are

 

I am mate, thanks

Its a dedicated hanging basket stand that I got from Amazon last year - Linky - Its going to need some long bolts drilled through it to strengthen it for next year, but that's no biggie really. Its not as though its all that expensive for what it is.

The baskets looked really sorry for themselves tonight - all the petunias were drooping, gasping for a drink the poor wee things; nearly 37º here today though, so I shouldn't be surprised.
