Containers For Autumn
IT’S been a strange summer in many ways, partly due to the weather and partly down to the lingering effects of Covid. As with last year, the garden has been a place of sanity and sanctuary for many of us this summer and hopefully we will be able to get out into it and enjoy a few more weeks of warmth and sunshine yet.

I want to see summer out with a bang, and what better way to do this than plant up pots and baskets full of cheery, eye-popping colour?

Moreover, what better time of year to do it, as late summer segues into the vibrant russet tones of autumn, when slightly cooler days and the increased chance of rain help boost the longevity of plants, and there are some wonderfully bold colours to choose from.

Garden centre shelves will have been picked clean of early summer bedding, but you may be able to pick up a few bargains to fill your containers.
