Garden Urns

Wow! Where are the weeks going?

Over the last couple of weekends I have been working on

 a little project at home, it all started 2 Saturdays ago when

 I visited the garden centre and fell in love with a couple of

 garden urns that I just had to have. Only problem was

how was I going to get them home? Well lucky for me

they look like the extra heavy concrete type but they are

 a sort of fibreglass resin and still a bit weighty but not to

 heavy for me to handle on my own. The man at the centre

 helped me load them in the car one at a time and I

 took them home and unloaded them......

Ha Ha look at me....feeling pleased with myself :)

Feels good to know if I want it, I can work hard and have it!

I also picked up 2 Star Jasmine plants....

One at home and a quick dash back for the second one!

This is where I have put them at the side of my pergola....

Originally I was going to plant straight into the ground and

 wisteria was my plant of choice but isn't it a

woman's prerogative to change her mind?

I tossed up for a few days what type of mesh I would use

 to train the plants up to the pergola, I had a couple of sheets

 of this lattice down near the shed not being used

 so I decided to see how it looked....

This was the fun part, time to use my jig saw for the first time...

 It was gifted to me for Christmas from my cousin....

 Lots of fun here for me, it worked

a treat and took no time at all...

I popped the lattice in the pots and let it sit for a couple of

 days until I was certain that was the look I was going with...

The Jasmine will cover them as it grows and will also add

 a bit more privacy on that side, I am looking forward to

tackling my privacy wall that will go on the left of this

 picture in the holidays all going well....

Fast forward to last Saturday, I fixed the lattice at the top

 and squared it all up and then had fun planting up my urns.....

I also added a little potted colour to fill in the base of them,

 it should look very pretty when spring comes around....

The Jasmine looks nice and glossy and with the help of my urns

 wont have a s far to grow before it is winding itself over the

 top of my pergola...It should be lovely in a couple of years....

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.....

not sure what I will get up to today....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
