        Thank you kindly Philip.....it's more a case of pot luck when planting / planning....and the resulting higgledy piggledy look can be surprisingly effective.:whistle: :fingers crossed:

              :wow: Michael. That is incredibly colourful. I don't know which I like most ... the patio pots, the overgrown area or the Peter Rabbit pot. I do miss having bedding plants.

                            That first rose is very pretty @Logan, is it Chicago Peace by any chance. It reminds me of that one and I used to have it many years ago in another garden.
