Category: Front garden make-over | Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:40 pm

At long last my garden planters are here!!! I've given them three coats of clear, satin finish, yacht varnish to make sure they retain their colour and also so that they will withstand the weather better.





Now all I have to do is wait for the last coat of varnish to dry overight and then I can get them moved to the front garden and plant them up.
Also got a letter from Spaldings saying that the two bushes I ordered should be here before the end of the month. Sooooo by the beginning of October the front garden will, at last, be done and dusted!!!

Will post more piccies once the planters are in place and the plants put into them.

Oooh, I can see that your yard will be very ground-forcey when you get these installed! ('cept Mr. Titchmarsh would paint them blue, lol!)

Very nice Eileen, what are you planting in them? I am looking forward to seeing them in place.

ooh can't wait to see your new bushes and your plants you'll be putting into your new planters. I really enjoyed your background in your picture too.

Ah, you did get copies made of that planter you found a few months ago. Those are fantastic. What are you going to be planting in them?

They are eye-catching Eils, should look great in the front garden.
