A week ago I alluded to a "supersecretsquirrel" project. I bet you'd like to know what I was up to!

I was starting to run out of space in Jurassic Park, so decided to start on some vertical planting. Hubster did all the drilling, and I sorted the pots out. I also got some matching trellis to make a fence separating the garden from the gas meters:

I had some of my gardening forum buddies round for a barbecue last Saturday night, and it was such a confidence boost to have them admire the garden (theirs are all much bigger than mine, everything is planted out, and they've been doing it for longer than I have). Seeing a garden through another's eyes is great for the creative juices and really helped me appreciate the beauty of my own little patch.

And looking at it in this light, if there was just a nice big hedge or fence shielding those awful gas meters, to me it looks like one of those "featured gardens" they have in the magazines each month.
