I’m with you on those signs, wild edges. They’re cringeworthy. On an open gardens visit last summer one garden had an iron sign that said ‘garden’ on it. Sure enough you turned the corner and there was that most twee of verses, ‘You’re nearer to God in the garden ...’
Still, the faux aged wooden signs seem to have kept garden centres in profit and might have tided them over the past couple of months. Next week folk might be able to go out and get more subdued grey and silver home furnishings and accessories.
To my mind the worst thing about all that "tat" is that its made in China. Wouldn't be so bad if it were made by Joe Bloggs in his workshop round the corner.
I'm with you on those signs @wild edges Hideous beyond belief
It's worth checking out Joe Lycett's comments on these things - he tweeted [?] funny responses to someone [some vacuous celeb] who kept commenting in that fashion. Brilliant, but I think it went over the person's head. What a surprise
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I love signs, I have enamel ones in my conservatory. My grump is the forcast says tonight its going to be frosty! My neighbours planted out their beans and peas at the end of April, I always plant mine at the beginning of June, they laughed at me said there would never be a frost in May. Spent the last 10 days hardening stuff off, yup, peas and beans in, everything covered up as best we could, tomatoes back from the lean to greenhouse, in the conservatory, hanging baskets,dahlias in pots,etc all brought in, grrrr
The cars were definitely frosty when I went back to bed at 5am. It doesn't seem to have done as much harm as that wind we had yesterday that flattened and broke quite a few plants including some very promising lupins
