I decided to move most of the pots to the centre of the gravel area,earlier this week,as they looked a bit too spread out..and I can now see them all from the window..


The shed colour didn’t do justice to the Agapanthus,so it looks much better ,as a background to the others,I think..

There is now room for our snail hunter to go foraging in the borders for all manner of mini Beasties..:o)

Much better….till I change my mind again :o)

It's nice to have a change around. Your pots look nice all together :o)

Looks lovely Sandra, although I quit liked the agapanthus by the shed.

A lovely change B. they look very smart like that and will be easier to water too!! Like the new paint on the shed too very 'homes and gardens' Lol x
Bet your snail hunter loves it out there! We bought Dylan a magnifying tub that you can put critters in and see them more closely and twice the size Lol. he loves it.

They look lovely all grouped together - more impact that way. How lovely to have a little David Attenborough of your own!

I do like the large grouping of pots. I'm never happy with mine being scattered around like this. I'm going to take insiration from your picture and a picture Shirley Tulip posted the other day and do them like this next year.
I do hope your slug/snail hunter earns his keep Bloomer.
A gorgeous garden you have :)

Lovely Bloomer, its good to have a change :-)

24 Aug, 2012

 

They do look nice in groups, you get more of an impact as well and as you say you can keep changing them around as the mood takes you.
I can remember the days when I was always fetched to come see the treasures my grandchildren found, lol, now it takes a huge effort to get them out into the garden..

Thanks Pam..just noticed he had no shoes on..! :o)
...........
Thanks Junna,pleased you like it ..

Thank you Hywel,it keeps me from having to do housework ! Lol...much more important :o)
.............
Another reason why I moved it,Cinders..I kept walking into the pot ! and thank you :o)
..............
Thanks G.mage..The shed has been that colour for a while now..it was almost the colour of the Agapanthus pot,and I hated it.We didn't expect it to look almost orange ! :o)
The Magnifying tub is a great idea too,and he plays with our magnifying glass sometimes..never thought of letting him use it in the garden..where did you buy the tub from please? He would love that :o)
.............
Thank you,T.Bear.I don't know why I haven't done it before....duh !...our little DA can get round much more easily too..never too old to learn,eh ?
...........
I saw the pic of Shirley's too,Scottish..and like G.mage
said,so much easier to water too,and much more effective grouped together.. you can also hide the 'not so good' ,in and among ! Lol. and yes,Thomas earns his keep,he always finds even the tiniest critters ! Lol.thanks for your nice comment :o)
.................
Thanks Willi..I agree..sometimes we don't do it often enough,do we? same old,same old ! :o)
...............
Thank you,Sue..it's nice to see them,everytime I look out of the window now..no point hiding them in a corner of the Patio..we might as well make the most of them..we've waited long enough this year ! :o)
...............

Looking great Sandra , you know the old saying A change is as good as a Rest! well it has given you lots more impact and its a lovely feature now for you to look out on to! Thomas is getting to be a real budding gardener, Its so lovely for children to be introduced to gardening from an early age, so many children miss out on the wonders of nature;0))

24 Aug, 2012

 

Very nice arrangement, it looks great in the center:)

24 Aug, 2012

 

Thanks Carole,glad you like it..Thomas can have his own pot next year,with some seeds...he loves being out there..I just have to watch where he is digging at the moment :o)
THank you,Vi..after a horrid start in early summer,I'm pleased everything grew so well...:o)
