Buckets

Who’d have thought buckets could be a thing of beauty. Let me explain…First up, to find some buckets. I got mine from B&M bargains for just 99p each. Next, OH whipped out his trusty power tool (almost a Freudian slip there… I almost typed ‘trysty power tool’), and two holes were drilled into the bottom of them.Next, off to our local, unbelievably cheap, garden centre, where we picked up some surfinia plants for about 50p each. We went for all the same colour, in a muted shade of lavendar.Voila! For just over a fiver, I’m cock-a-hoop with our new planters… please feel free to share your own ‘pretty on the cheap’ ideas…Ignore the trellis in this next one… it’s on the list to get some new bits. The old trellis fell apart in my hands when hacking down, pruning the wisteria…
