    I went to B&M on Friday to get some new plants for the garden. I really love the colour of the pinky/purple ones on the left!

    A ground-level shot of a backyard patio against a wooden fence. On the left is a large, light-orange terracotta pot filled with a vibrant green plant sporting multiple tall, fuzzy, bright magenta plumes. To the right is another terracotta-colored pot containing small, dark green foliage with delicate white and purple flowers, flanked by two small solar panels propped on its rim. In the center, sitting directly on the hexagonal concrete patio stones, are two whimsical garden ornaments: a pair of wide-eyed gray owls on a small log, and a pair of brown squirrels perched together. A string of outdoor fairy lights draped in a loose wave runs across the wooden fence in the background.

    The established plants are doing ok, the pots I have to water daily @Mary_Scope

    Before the last couple of days of good weather we had quite a lot of rain so that has helped.

    I'm not enjoying the water jets used for cleaning paving slabs around these parts. So noisy and wasteful.
