Wall Trough Fitted And Planted Up For Autumn/Winter..

The OH has been very industrious fitting wall brackets to support the weight of our recently planted up trough.. We have planted it for Autumn/Winter interest plus added Spring bulbs for colour as the Winter season slips on by..

Hi Bloomer, how you made me laugh, but glad to see that you approve of my planted wall trough..Poor old Ba, she's been missing in action for days, and you know you've not been the same without her..'fess up now.. Bet you are kicking up your heels and doing a little jig in the kitchen now she is back in the fold again!\0/xxx

Hello Ba..Missed you hon..Hope all is well, and don't you worry, if I get the OH to set off tonight, he might get to you by midweek..lol..Bless him, he's not very good at directions, but he has got an enormous power tool you'll be glad to hear! He might even overtake the slugs that are on their way to you...LOL! \0/xxx

Hi Ba glad you're feeling better luv xxx

Thanks Rich..All of these plants are winter hardy so should be ok..I hope! lol Think it will better when they have had a chance to put on some growth and settle in properly. Will keep you updated my friend..\0/x

It is only because this is a new trough Rose, but I am hoping to add little bits of seasonal interest in it as the year progresses\0/x

Thank you for your kind concern my friends about my health. Now, if you'd like to make a small contribution to the 'Send BA On A Holiday' fund, I'm sure it would make us all feel better:-))
