Pots of bright colour
Some of the pots are looking OK at the moment...they should really be in their prime right now...but somehow I'm never completely satisfied with them. I think the plants have suffered a bit because I've stopped using slug pellets and didn't devise alternative methods...beer traps for example. We've a dahlia, Bishop of Llandaff, that's much smaller than usual and one delphinium was eaten off completely.
Still, isn't this the lot of the gardener...always thinking how much better it was last year or how much improved it will be next. I must take time out to appreciate the now...bright pots of annuals and lots of colour generally...relax a little and enjoy.
