Garden centre visits are never cheap but enhancing the garden is money well spent. Great news about the eBay sales.

We still need to get loads more plants for the borders. I'm excited to get more now we have started planting up.

We have a plant in the ground at last 😀

Garden centres never fail to amaze me how much can be spent in them tbh. My son loves going to them for some reason to see fish but always walk out with something he’s seen.

Beach theme looks good - really like it.

You have just reminded me. We didn't go to see the fish. The dog loves looking at the fish 🤣🤣🤣

Love the boat stuff in the garden. We made the bottom of our garden into a beach themed area with fishing nets on the fence at the back. Even painted the shed to look like a beach hut 😆 Been waiting for ages for a boat planter place to open back up after lockdown but we are going to get a planter like this

We need to get a shed before we can paint it like a beach hut 🤣🤣🤣

Love that planter. Not really got room for one here though I don't think.

We were looking at the Weber BBQs while we were at the garden centre. Think that is definitely the route we will be going next winter. They are expensive but they are very well built.

You won't go wrong with a Weber BBQ.  We've got a couple - a big charcoal one in the garden and a smaller gas one in the motorhome which we sometimes use in the garden if DH can't be bothered to light the charcoal one or we're only doing a little bit of cooking.  We've had both of them for 4 or 5 years and you wouldn't know they were that old.  Look at a company called Riverside when you want to buy one as they often have good offers on and often include things like the covers as part of the deal, and they aren't cheap either!

Thanks for that. Will look into them.

You're welcome.  We found them great to deal with.  If any offers come in later this year I'll give you the heads up.
