Bedding

– Another Bank Holiday weekend. It hardly seems a month since the last one.
– They certainly come thick and fast at this time of year. At least they give you a chance to enjoy the spring sunshine and do some jobs around the house.
– Those seem somehow mutually exclusive.
– Do they?
– I think if you were pottering around the house, putting up shelves and sanding down the woodwork or whatever, you wouldn't see much of the spring sunshine.
– Well, you could potter around the garden. This is the time of year to plant out your bedding plants and introduce a spot of colour.
– I did manage to get hold of some plants today. I was just wondering what to do with them.
– You could try planting them.
– I always find it a good idea not to rush into these things, but to take the time to plan out where everything should go.
– I thought you didn't have that much garden to work with.
– It is certainly compact. But that is even more of a reason to get the design right.
– I thought it consisted mainly of pots.
– But there are quite a lot of pots.
– At least, if you don't like the layout, you could always move them around. That's the beauty of pots.
– If only it were that simple.
– It is that simple.
– Nothing is ever that simple.
