We are nearly at the end of August. This is the time of the year that we feel those short wet days getting on top of us. I know I am craving some heat and sun. Bring on those sunny nights where you feel like the day is still with you. Bye bye Netflix and the sofa!

You can brighten up your patios and decks with some small pots and those pretty coloured flowers you see at the garden centres.

Coloured flowers look so good on the edge of your outdoor area or on a table. They last longer than flowers and don’t get smelly.

Gorgeous coloured flowers for 3-4 months if you look after them.

Once they are past their best you can pull them out and replace them. Cheap – anything from $1-$10 per plant.

Plus the  Planter Pot!
