Summer containers

Lovely. Colourful too. My trouble is I don't want to do all that watering any more though was it you who said you have a watering system? I've got a few tubs here and that's enough but I do love all the colour you have.

Do you have a big garden?

No watering system, I'm afraid. I water everything using a watering can. But only pots and new plantings get treated - everything else has to fend for itself. The garden isn't huge - 64' by 35'. The top third by the house is patio and the bottom third is the "wild patch". The bit in the middle is a roundish "lawn" surrounded by deep borders - rather messy, I must admit. It's all a bit wild, actually.

So lovely to see a collection of containers grouped together, yours look very pretty. Obviously being well looked after!

So pretty,and I love the Cosmos,one of,my favourites..I can't believe I forgot them this year..!.Everything looks so well cared for :o)

Thanks Wildrose. I love my containers. I just pack them tight and water them regularly. I reuse the compost and beef it up with water-retaining granules and plant food. I think they grow better when they are in a group. It must create a mutually supportive community!

Thank you, Bloomer. I love cosmos. Sadly, mine are covered with blackfly on the stems. I would spray them with soapy solution, but last year it scorched the cosmos - I must have used too strong a solution.
