Inviting Entry

I was visiting a client’s place a couple of months ago and noticed they had a large pot at the front door with flowers spilling out of it. It made their place look really warm and inviting and I mentioned it to my husband. We had a large pot out the back that was just collecting cobwebs and nothing else so he carried it to the front verandah for me and I found a pot to put inside the opening (so we didn’t have to fill the entire thing with soil) and then I planted Petunias and Pansies with a reed plant in the centre. The pot is now spilling over with flowers and looks really lovely, in fact welcoming as people come up to the front door. The Hoya is sitting behind it - I’m waiting for it to show signs of picking up still 
How often do you see something you like elsewhere and then come home to duplicate that? That’s what I’m doing with my vege garden too but it’s going to take longer than a few weeks - for that I have to be patient! 
That really does look warm and inviting, I think I’ll copy it.
I like to try things that I see elsewhere but I think it’s more fun putting my own spin on them. But in the vegetable garden, I like to follow the beat of my own drummer.
Well it is raining here in UK today, so was nice to look at a lovely garden!
Thank you - glad you like what I’ve been doing!
