Now the super cold weather has finally passed – fingers crossed – I decided to refill my pots by the front door. They were as you can see pretty dead
Classy or what?
So I went to the market, bought lots of pretties for a fiver. Got home realised that the lavenders were indeed now super dead and throwing water at them probably wasn’t going to work this year, so headed out to the garden centre to buy some lavenders and a big bag of compost. But they also had lots of gorgeous spring flowers, including violets – I may have gone a bit mad but I have missed colour so! And you know I have a garden, so they could go out there too……any excuse! 
An hour later my posts were transformed and now look like this
And these little Violet beauties were planted in the back garden so I can see them from the kitchen window, they smell as divine as they look.
Only a few more weeks and I can start planning my veggie raised beds. Here’s hoping that bitter cold weather has passed, and Spring is here!

Ooh lovely. I’m totally loving the weather these last couple of days too. May go to the garden centre this weekend. I’m pretty desperate for some colour too

Yes it’s been grey and miserable for too long hasn’t it? Enjoy your shopping trip

They look lovely! I have a few bulbs which are starting to signs of life, but my kiddos are at that ‘tearing heads of flowers’ stage not sure any flowers will survive long with the kids!
Oh that’s so cute when they come in with just daffodil heads as presents. Miss L still has a thing for doing the same with daisies. I hope you enjoy yours while they last

Beautiful! I can’t wait to get back out in the garden. All my potted bulbs are well on their way but no flowers yet. Roll on springtime……

A vast improvement on the old pots! God I miss having a garden! Spring has sprung where you are. We are still up to our neck in snow here and living in a pokey apartment. Moving to our new house in the UK with lovely garden in April…can’t wait!
LOL! My old pots were so dead it was shameful
I hope you enjoy your new garden when you come to the UK, April will be the perfect month for planting.
