    Your patio is clean, tidy and moss free. The pots are evenly spaced, standing upright and contain healthy plants.
    Mismatched pots would be a nice addition to a neglected spot in your garden. You've shown us the cherry on the top but no cake.
    Where's the cake?

    @Allotment Boy. Nah, I’m still acing the mismatch pots. Your mismatch pots look nice together 😉

    My garden is so bad, I dare not post close up photos! I keep telling myself, it’s good for wildlife 😂

    @Skylarks. Share. You'll be shriven. At least you'll know that you're not alone. Perfect gardens are not eco friendly. Spiders have a right to live. Rust is a natural process. Minibeasts need nooks. What's in your garage isn't on landfill and rotting into the watercourses. A tidy gardener is not an eco friendly gardener.

    Coo the (lack of) standards is harsh but I'll take it, in my defence it's a  south facing patio, too dry and sunny there for moss, now the side path is a different story,  clearly I have a long way to go 😆

    Show the long path.  Go on. You can do it. We don't even care if it's out of focus. So much the better. We are lazy eco friendly gardeners not photographers. Shiny patios belong in the posh thread.

    @B3 love that saying  :smile:
    Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    @Allotment Boy   I realise I am not supposed to be admiring,   but that is a lovely pond bowl. Can I ask what it's made of? I love your plant stand. I would keep it as is. People paid for the 'distressed' and rusty look. Lol.

    None of your gardens look remotely shameful to me - it looks like normal life. I raise my glasses to you and real living.

    @Fire the pond is fibreglass, it's all we have space for. The problem with the stand shelf if you can zoom in you will see,  part of that front rail is missing,  so eventually it will collapse 😢

    I was wondering about the little pond too. I'd like one.
