Well after reading some posts on here, i have decided to paint my shed and fence. It has been that horrible orange cedar colour since i moved in. So i thought i would need something dark to get rid of the general gingerness in my garden.
In the end i opted for cuprinol dark oak. I quite fancied black but as i lacked the commitment i went for the softer option. Happy with it so far all of a sudden my plants appear much more colourful.
It's amazing what a quick lick can do. I though i would need to go over it twice at least but a good slosh has done the trick..
Wish id started sooner....

100% Better Paul, you have some nice plants there, Have you overwintered any unusual (less hardy) plants, im a bit bored with mine, just wondered what i could add next year..

hi deedee

no i just have hardy stuff except a red banana plant.. which i bring in over winter. all the potted stuff just get dragged to the back wall of the house. its been fine so far.
im not really planning on anything other than that due to my somewhat limited skills and experience.
