New pots for balls of green

I bought two new black pots from The Reject Shop and potted two small green minamins therein.

I want a series of balls of different sizes around the garden. I am almost approaching my limit for those though. Can't have too many, or can one?!

This is from Mark Syke's garden:

Little orchid cometh up

I think these are called Christ orchids. I am pleased to note the colour is different to the orange ones I have had before.

First winter fog in our area

Welcome to Winter! The first official day is today. There was a fog this morning, too, still evident at 7am.

Big new leaves

Many of the palm leaves are growing longer than the fence height now. I am so pleased, as I love the look. It's (the garden) is beautiful, the new leaves are beautiful.

Front door pots

I finally managed to find the time and energy to repot these ficus standards into the pots I had bought for them, ages ago, maybe even last year. I think the slimmer, more upright shape suits the area better.

Better than the older black plastic pots, I reckon. (The below pic from 26 Oct, 2019).

Driveway ideas

I noticed this cross-hatched driveway yesterday - rather like this pattern and effect.

Cost is the thing. I want the house remodelled but more immediately, I need a driveway that is not messy. It might be an idea to do the wheel tracks first as concrete?
