Primroses & Daffodils just put in planter around cash machine 5th November 2024 001

I removed the Geraniums & Fuchsias from this planter & took them home. I had some Primroses on the balcony railings that were just starting to flower but the plants look horrible besides which they won't flower much during the winter & I don't fancy just looking at green rosettes when I could be looking at some colourful Pansies!

I first dug out the plants & dug over the soil while adding some spent compost from the balcony. When the Town Council put the planters around the cash machine they didn't add any more soil. That is why the plants look so low. I've now raised the level a bit more by adding spent compost from the growbags that had tomatoes growing in them on the balcony all summer.

I planted a bag of 30 Daffodils & then overplanted them with the Primroses. Though they are not very good looking plants I think they will still grow & flower in the Spring.

Well done Balcony, I'm sure the local people will love them when they flower.

I hope you are right, Lindak!
