Gate trough

Suddenly everything seems to be progressing. Very encouraging.

These particular violas have done the best in the whole garden! As for pansies - well - no comment!

I really think these colours work well together, and the variegated ivy
just sets it off nicely...: -)))

Thanks...the gate trough is on the 5-bar gate so that people passing by can look at the flowers. I hope it cheers them up, too!

Look at those violas, they are wonderful. A trough very similar to yours is arriving soon for me. ;-)

I'm sure it will cheer people up Barbara .. :o)

I hope so...and I wish I'd bought all violas and no pansies, too, Homebird!

I love having a gate trough, Dawn. It's a real 'welcome home'.

I'm sure its a welcome sight Barbara. :-)
Maybe I'll get violas for next Winter Barbara, if they are hardier than the pansies

They've ALL stood up to the weather, Dawn - where the pansies seem to have given up. :-((

It' nice...
But I'm waiting picture of blue big pot :)

The pansies in there were a disaster. Anrea - I've added some primroses, so it doesn't look too awful - but it isn't a pretty picture, sadly.

very nice

Thanks, Holly!

They look very pretty Spritz.Im glad I didn't buy pansies this year.as I usually do,
but I picked up a pack of 10 violas for £1 in Lidl last week,and they look very healthy..:o)

I'm going to get Viola's rather than winter pansies next time, thanks.

:-)

Aldi have spring bedding plants in: violas and pansies in on Thursday - £2.49 for 20.

Thanks, Dawn! :-))

A lovely grouping.

It's been looking even better in the sun, as the crocuses opened and the other bulbs are appearing. :-))
