This is my container garden. It mainly consists of edibles, plus some plants that need protection from the frosts. I am particularly interested in citruses and I have a number of citruses on the deck. They live on the edge of the deck in spring to autumn where they get full sun, and can be wheeled back under the protection of the eaves in winter. Other plants in pots are a couple of dwarf apple trees which have nowhere to go until I dig out some privet, and a forest pansy tree. I also have some liliums which are waiting to go into the main ornamental garden.

Hi Fern, I have grown Nasturtium ‘cherry rose’ before and was very impressed with them, but was looking for something much darker flowered, and managed to find a mail order catalogue that stocked about 10 different colours of nasturtiums. The first ones in the pot have sprouted, so I am looking forward to seeing the flowers. I will post photos of the flowers as they come out.
