This is a pretty dead time of year in the garden but primroses stop everything being brown :) I keep pots of things on that piece of slate on the table when we aren’t using the table in the winter. The table is from IKEA that I painted with outdoor wood paint and let go a bit weathered over the years, the metal Habitat chairs are from Ebay, also painted. Putting assorted sizes of green painted picture frames on the trellis is another idea I had a few years ago to stop the winter garden and an ordinary fence looking too boring, they are weathering now but that’s OK. I think it looks nice in the summer too when the clematis and jasmine grows through it. Picture frames are really cheap from charity shops once they have lost their glass.

They look lovely, wouldn’t mind some to brighten up my garden. The frames are a great idea too! Carla
