Ive various bits n bobs in my garden that are colourful but dont match.. went out to buy a plain canvas parasol but found a bright coloured striped one, then i saw some chair cushions and some bunting... get home put it all out and the whole garden looks a really bright delight.

Even though there is no specific theme its all co ordinated under the heading of 'colourful rainbow'

Well done you! My garden theme is shambles, and a very good imitation it does of one too.

I've declared that dandelions should not be treated as s but as flowers. that way my garden is a flowerly delight!

North of The Wall - youll need your vest

The apartment Im staying in is a new build and there are still patches of wasteland and builders rubble where the landscaping hasnt been finished off yet.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, loads of beautiful red poppies appeared growing in the rubble and even more of them today. Looks lovely - as far as building sites go

Sounds lovely, we've recently put a small caravan in our back garden. Minus the wheels, big project, but I plan to paint it in pale green or something, put decking in front of it.. And hanging baskets on it, with trellis and bunting etc.. Table n chairs.. Nice summerhouse. I like quirky n vintage.

I live on a roof terrace with 4 others who use the space

I asked permission for a section to deck make some herb garden and a place to sit out.

They agreed

Scour the junk shops, paint old chairs in different pretty colours, buy big cushions from cheap shops like b n m,s etc.. Paint old watering cans.. The list is endless.. Asda now do outdoor paint in a variety of pretty colours.

Quirky themes are best

I have been out working in mine today there is something very satisfying in getting filthy achy stung and prickled, then having a hot bath and then admiring your handy work

I have some homegrown rhubarb stewing now and it smells lush too

i saw a few pics of car tyres used as planters that i thought looked great painted up, but decided against it.
