We only have a plastic policeman in the area - and nowhere near here. I'm thinking of hiring bodyguards, only they would be 'Shrubguards' in this case, of course. ;D

I know it's early, but I decided to start on my pots today. Everything is so far ahead in my garden - I've got buds on my oriental poppies, so they won't be long.

This is what I did. My Kalmia latifolia is almost in flower, and so is the Boulevard Clematis in the back of the pot - so I planted five Nemesia plants round it.

Nemesia 'Dark Maroon'

I like the colours together.

I think it needs some white trailing plants, too...maybe Bacopa?

I absolutely agree, and I'll plant some white Bacopa tomorrow. I grew them on from tiny plug plants for this pot! I should have put them in today to 'finish' it. Not sure why I didn't!
