Thanks Colin, I still have the pots in the back to paint but the rain is in for the week now. I love blue and white they were yellow and white for a long time so a nice change.
Thank you, I didn't know what to get and these seemed to be the best value for the size. I am worried when it starts to get cold though it's been so nice this last week, probably the warmest week of the year which is so unusual for us. I will end up doing an update in a month and now the frost has had them, as long as it's not slugs I hope.
Thanks, Derbydog. They took ages to paint, I'm glad they are done now though, just need to repaint the front of the house, but it's a bit too high to tackle and our ladder is very wobbly
Wow! The pots look amazing. Well done! 👏👏👏 On Tuesday, I was on the Mainau Island on Lake Constanze. They had five shelves full of different tulip bulbs. And another one with lilies in all colors and sizes. Thought about you, and bought lily bulbs for 30€. 😂
I just googled Mainau Island it looks stunning, you will have to keep me updated on the Lily bulbs and what varieties you bought. I think I'm going to get some more bulbs as well. I have daffodils and bluebells, but want to get some other flowers on the go for next spring.
Thank you. It took ages, I made so many mistakes and repainted the white bits. The blue would run quite a bit and needed much more work than I was expecting. I'm looking forward to the tulips 🌷when I planted them in the ground the slugs got to them. Hopefully, pots are the way forward.
@@RogerTheGardener have you tried using nematodes for the slugs? They can be a bit expensive but I have found them very good especially in pots. Good luck with the tulips 😁
Great Job Rach! The pots look fantastic! Great colour choice

They look amazing those pots - its lovely to walk up to the door and see all your hard work shine! Top Notch!
I still have the pots in the back to paint though and the rain is in for the week, so that will most likely be next year now.
Next year! It's raining till next year! Nooooooooooo
Yes
Looks lovely and fresh, the blue is a great pop of colour. Good luck with the cyclamen, I can never keep them alive 🤣

Nice refresh , my you have patience to do the blue on those pots, but they do look great.👍

I haven't tried them, how long do they last? do you need to replace them often? they are a bit of a mystery to me.
@@RogerTheGardener yearly, you just add them to the watering can do it once and they eat the slugs from the inside.
Oh my, I didn't realise that they eat them from the inside.
