New and old.

looking very good Sunny. I have to keep my osteospermums in the greenhouse over winter.

my Clem montana got very heavily cut back last year and there are a few flowers this year.

Your garden looks full of plants, that's a proper garden :) I love the view through the window :)

Thank you Hywel, as long as no-one is looking for a seat it's perfect! There's not a lot of space between all the plant pots, bird baths, bird-hangers etc but it's the way I like it. I rarely sit down in it - rarely warm enough - but we do the washing up in the kitchen with a beautiful view, and our dining room looks out on to it too so we're happy.

The view is lovely as is the crab apple. As for doing the washing up, you look as if you have used all your bowls for plants - can't think of a better use for a washing up bowl. Clematis are such happy plants, make everyone smile and get better every year, what else could you want?

You're right Honeysuckle, I love bright coloured washing up bowls anyway but once they are 'a bit done with washing up' they are perfect and cheap plant pots. And it recycles plastic! Clematis plants are definitely my latest favourite.
