Pottering about

 This morning I spent some time playing in the garden. I re potted some plants, and painted some pots. This is a free pot I got from someone in the village. They said on the facebook page for people to come and help themselves to the pots at the front of the house. I took this one. 

And I took this one. They were green, I painted them both blue. I don't like green or brown pots. 

I have had this pot for ages, think I probably bought it new. The paint was looking shabby so I gave it a new coat. The easy way to do this is to put the pot on the top of the wheelie bin. Then there is no bending down, and you can walk around the bin to paint the pot. 

This pot needed a freshen up. The sun has faded the colour. I use tester pots which I got from the Scrapstore. 

This plant is doing really well. I got it from the garden centre a few weeks ago. It's got lots of new green shoots. 

Only one flower on this plant so far, but I am hopeful that there will be more. 

I sorted some pots out which had a lot of weeds in them. I almost dumped the whole lot but managed to salvage some of the bulbs which were in the tangled roots. 

It's a shame that the petals fall off these flowers so quickly. 

This afternoon I did a local five mile walk. I'm on my way to the 416 mile target for the end of May. 

Hedgehog news. They are still coming every night, two of them. I hope they don't get squashed on the roads. 

Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.  ilona.
