On my way to Tesco

lol lily, i havent really got any yet, like you i dont know where to plant them, but i should get some or i will miss out and then i will be upset, im sure you will fit them in once the summer plants are gone, it will look great, im not a colour cordinated person, i just pop in and hope for the best, i cant plan ive no patience for that lol

Oh Lily you just couldn't clear your Beautifull Beds yet, I bought my Pansie's a few weeks ago and waited untill my bedding looked a bit sad and needed deadheading before i pulled them out :) The Pansies are in and today i Planted my Daffs, another job ticked off my list...

Your display is magnificent Lily - you should invite all the grumpy people in your area, to pop by for a cuppa, and while you're persuading them with a jammy dodger or two, I am sure their psyche will emerge as a cheery smile, for them to take home to those who may not love them as much as they should.
I wish all people who had a garden that abutted a bus stop, would have a front garden like yours. I suspect those bus journeys would eventually become a joyful, happy place to be, full of laughter and good will to all, rather than the silent, doom and gloom and aggressive resentment of people who cannot see the joy that nature offers so freely.
After a hard days work, I feel positively bouyant - thankyou Lily.

The raised beds are still Beautiful they look as if they could go on for months yet, I have just put in Daffs/Narc&Tulips but still need some Pansies....MUST get to a GardenCentre this weekend......

I've already got my pansies in but after seeing this blog I thought s@d it I wan't some more! ! ! ! :~))

Lovely pics, Lily2 :o)

Beautiful garden you have, you will have to get some hanging baskets and decorate your walls or fences, I bought half baskets and cup hooks and screwed the cup hooks in the fence and just hooked them up, take a look at my pansie blog you will see, I got the baskets from Home Bargains at 1.99 each cup hooks 1.00 for 12.

Thanks for all your lovely comments.
Sandra, I try hard to be colour coordinated but it never works out and no YDD and Swanky I'm definitely not going to empty the beds until I have to. Those pansies can wait!
Burgundy, my front garden isn't colourful at all but it's very quiet in my road so not many people passing for me to brighten their day. It would be lovely though to look at lots of pretty gardens when out and about. there's nothing like a lovely garden to lift the spirits
Thanks TT and Ian, I'm sure you could squeeze in a few more pansies somewhere :o)
I saw your blog Morgana, your baskets are looking great.

I know you did thought I would remind you incase you could nt fit all your pansies in give you an idea he he

Lily your garden beds look absolutely amazing...such wonderful colour. It looks like your pansies might have a long wait for their turn in the bed as everything looks so 'in full flush'!

Can certainly see why you can't pull out the summer bedding yet, what a beautiful display.

lovely pansies think i would have fetched them all home aswell.

LMAO Lily!!

Such a god blog and well written. Your garden really does look wonderful and we could ALL do with more room couldn't we?

That Temple of temptation is naughty but ......well, no-one was looking were they!

Very proud of myself today. Went out to a lovely place - blog to follow in next day or two - and popped in to B&Q on way home.....didn't buy a jot!! Tubs and that were really expensive actually but Ali was also proud, sorry, AMAZED at my willpower!!

Great blog Lily:0)-

It's blogs like yours that got me buying the pansies in the first place Morgana and I think I might well need some tubs or baskets for them lol
Thanks Fluff and Wagger, long may it last - the pansies will be well looked after in the meantime. :o)
Clarice, I'm glad I bought them all, just spent a bit less on food!
OB, such praise from the blogmaster himself! I'm glad you liked it. I think I shall be going back on a more leisurely visit for a bit more temptation before long! I can't belive you bought nothing at all - not ill are you?!! lol

You are too gracious fair maiden....

Think I might well be coming down with something as it was Ali who 'nearly' bought something....a half-price clematis but we got nowhere to put it at mo so said I buy her one after chrimbo when the boreder is done.

This blog was so funny as it was just how I am. Go in for compost or paint and come out with a trolley full of plants. Brilliant!!

You have a lovely garden Lily. Your pansies should brighten it up in the winter for you.

Fantastic garden Lily - and that's from a non-flowery person! You may even manage to convert me at some point!

You can always find room for another plant OB, especially a half price one. lol
Thanks Hywel and Merfyn, glad you like the garden, as you can see, I like lots of colour!

What a lovely garden you have

Thank you Donnah, glad you like it.

I've just found this blog, and I'm so glad I did! I needed a 'boost' today, as it's a sad one for me....your flowers are lovely, and I enjoyed seeing the photos.

Isn't it difficult, knowing when to take the summer flowers out! It's all very well telling us we should plant Daffs etc in August, isn't it!

Glad it cheered you a little Barbara, who can look at pansies and not smile? I have to confess, have since been tempted by some lovely violas outside the hardware shop. They are now sitting in a low pot on the garden table 'smiling' at me!

Loved your blog...you colourful garden is a credit to you.

Thanks Judz, unfortunately some of the pansies are no longer with us. Mostly it's the yellow ones have turned up their toes and died, not sure why .! Still that's gardening.......
