Hi again Barbara, Marie and Layanee :-)

Barbara – Thank-you I hoped it would be :-) Funnily enough when I used the pots to plant my bulbs I did think it could protect them from wildlife too. Maybe that’s what’s happened to my bulbs over the years – they’ve been eaten! I hope this method works for my bulbs too – thanks for that :-)

Marie – Thank-you! I really enjoy taking photos of my plants and they will be great to look back on in a cold dark winter’s day. Although, sad person that I am, I look forward to seeing the plants with frost and snow again so I can photograph them then too :-)

Layanee – I get the sun in the morning and evening in this area so the willow green just lifts this whole area – I love it too. As I look out on it from my window now many of the plants look exactly the same willow colour – I chose them to match :-) I have no idea if I will be successful with the Pittosporum but I have just looked up my propagating book and I see I could take cuttings – I perhaps should try that! Thanks :-)

I love the willow green on the trellis and arbor! ...

Thank you Shirl, for this very interesting post. Now I see your silver border....BTW I plant my flower bulbs in little pots too, but I have to do that in order to protect them from the attacks of the field mice we have. Otherwise I would loose a lot of the bulbs in winter.
