It's autumn, which means it must be time for my least favourite horticultural product - spray-painted heather!
New for the 2009-2010 season is this puke-inducing pale blue colour. Who, apart from bureaucrats in charge of municipal planting schemes, actually thinks that turquoise is a good colour for a seasonal display?!
This example of abject hideousness served to remind me that, although my garden may be "boring" in its greenness and lack of flowers, at least it will never look as diabolical as the above.
I would also like to administer a sound beating to whichever little Einstein came up with the genius idea of spray-painting some of the heather green:
Seriously?? You couldn't find that colour anywhere in nature so you had to spray some heather to recreate a colour reminiscent of, say, chlorophyll?
Maybe I should have bought some to put outside the front door and scare away the miniature protection rackets that will no doubt be doing the rounds tomorrow night.
