    Hi Rosa :)
    Thanks for putting your pictures up- I can get a much clearer idea of how it looks from Outside now :thumb: It is a lovely mix of greenery and brightly coloured "ornaments" for added interest!
    It is a real little oasis you have created. The yellow flowers look like nasturtiums to me but it is a small picture.
    Lovely.

    No worries Rosa, nasturtium can look pretty in baskets with their brightly coloured yello/orangey hues. I don't really use them much I don't know why :hehe:

    Hi Rosa :)

    That climber [clematis?] is doing really well.
    I popped into Morrisons on the way home and thought of you when I took a peek at the garden aisle. There wasn't much stuff left today!

    hi jazmine, that one isnt a clematis its a passion flower climber its growing all over has been for 2 years it hasnt flowered as yet so im hoping i get flowers on it this year, guess morrisons have had a lot of their garden things reduced so people snap them up you have to be quick hehe might pop up today as we have 2 morrisons in our area so i go from one to the other.
