Gorgeous pots, especially the lavender one. That's quite a display, and it'll only get better as the weather improves

Thanks Elizabeth . I find colourful pots cheer up the garden even in the depths of winter and good quality ones will survive the frost and last for years.

Lovely pots, HHoD. Is that wildflower creeper growing up your wall toadflax? It looks like the plant which grew in the cracks of the garden wall at my old house. It could be a bit of a spreader, but was pretty with its little pink flowers. I kept a section of wall where it was allowed to grow & it did blend in nicely. It's funny how we divide into 'weeds' & 'non weeds' sometimes. I remember showing a friend round our garden when we'd just moved in. She pointed to something & said 'Well that can come out'. I said 'Oh no it won't - that' s a foxglove'......she said 'Exactly! It's a weed. It' ll spread & you'll have them all over'...... to which my reply was 'Good, because they're such a lovely native wild flower'. I guess the old adage about one person's trash being another person's treasure also extends to plants! 
Like you, I can't wait to get out there.

One of the bay trees we bought last summer. As you can see I need to do some weeding 🙄 .

I made the mistake of taking my Bay tree out of its pot and planting it in the garden by my back door, it's up to the eaves of my roof now  🙀🙀I'm am going to cut it back when the nicer weather arrives as I think that's how critters are getting into my loft by climbing up it 😟

Thanks Foxgloves . I don't know what the plant is that grows in the wall. It does have pretty pink flowers BUT it's making the cement between the bricks crumble and making the bricks loose and I'm worried the wall will fall down, so I try my best to get rid of it. It's certainly grows prolifically in any crack it can get hold of though. I agree that some so called 'weeds' can be nice. My stepdad thinks bluebells are weeds as they self seed a lot but I love bluebells.
