Sorry to hear that your plans didn't come to fruition this year Caroline. Sounds like a beautiful combination of colours- Fingers crossed for next year.
I only really started "gardening" in a mediterranean climate 5 years ago when I moved into my present accommodation. I use inverted commas because most of my planting is in tubs with 2-3 plants in each tub. This year, having seen how things have, or have not, grown over the years it is time for a massive rethink. Before, when I had only a balcony, colour combinations could be created and recreated almost daily as everything was in individual pots.
Wish me luck. I am going to start the task over the coming weekend.
