How potty

I’d bought some beautiful plants at the garden festival last weekend, and I was keen to get them planted. I had a few ‘vivace’ (perennials), which I will find some spots for in my borders, and I’d bought some beautiful pink geraniums for the front of the house.

It wasn’t long before I had my window boxes potted up.

What it made me realise though was that I was missing a potting area. Brian had set me up on a table outside, but we realised it was the table I had wanted us to renovate, so we decided I needed a couple of shelves above an enamel table he had fitted on the wall previously for me. I already have all my compost and pots underneath, but the top keeps getting used for other things. So I thought that if my pots and fertiliser etc were up on shelves above, it might get used properly.

He got to work fitting the shelves, having to fix a few bits of wood together for one, as he didn’t have any pieces long enough. I just need to get myself organised now and it will be a perfect potting area.
