I love this time of the year when the garden is coming to life, I have decided to change a flowerbed in front of the shed, so will have to get some pictures of that. In the mean time I thought I would share my new planter:
I have been meaning to do something like this for a while and finally saw a simple wooden box that I thought would fit the bill. I bought a sack of alpine grit from B&M stores which at £4.00 was a good price, and the box was from Hexton - I think I paid £5.
I mixed the grit with the compost and once planted added a layer on the top. I am hoping it won't want much watering :).
Here are a few more flowers around the garden.
