BOX BALL FOR FRONT DOOR
Slept on the thoughts of plants for the front door and think l'm going for Box then l can try a bit of topiary hehehe.....but doing some research the Box Balls look best in the shape pots l have
Our door still needs a second coat of paint and a new mat l think...ooops
a monogrammed one perhaps?...like this one from
SWEET SOMETHING DESIGNS another fab idea
B for Bakewell perhaps lol
Now all l have to do is find some without taking out another mortgage hehehe
and of course the cuttings will make great wreath bases for Christmas...now l wonder how fast they grow?
Idea from Better homes and Gardens...aaaaahhhh!.....
not sure l'd like to wake up to these over my head though hehehe

Ooooh! see what l will be able to make from Boxwood cutting?
found a huge metal double ring in the garage yesterday too....it was a beautiful Ikea light ring but someone who not be named chewed through the cable the second year we put it up.....ggggrrrrrrrrr
So l stripped the lights of it with a plan to one day make a door wreath with the ring....perfect for
Bakewell 2010

Hi Suz,
ReplyDeleteI have boxwood topiary hedges in my garden and we clip them once a year and only get about an inch off. Before they are shaped they grow a bit quicker but once you start clipping them it seems to slow the growth down and also makes them denser and the leaves slightly smaller. If you want cutting material you might have to wait a while !! We also have yew topiary and that grows quicker and is a wonderful plant as well. Good luck with whatever you decide...love the pictures and whatever you choose will look great I am sure.
When I saw your post I thought we might be related--last name is Gardner ;)! Looking good :)
ReplyDeleteOH, how I love your white flowers. I can only imagine the smell right through my screen.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend and don't work too hard.
