Window Treatment
I love seeing houses with window boxes. I think it looks so pretty when the front of house has some bright and cheerful flowers on it and perhaps some evergreen plants in the winter. I think it makes everything look happier somehow. However, saying that, I have no plants on the outside of my house at all. I am not sure why, I guess I just have not really thought about it. I do not have the right sort of house for window boxes as I have exterior window shutters and it does not seem to look right. However, I could have some nice pots around the door which might really help to brighten up the place. Maybe some nice red geraniums would really look good or perhaps some small trees might be easier for me to maintain. I think I will have to get hold of some outdoor planters and have a look around at what is available to put in them. I am not really much of a gardener so I think I will have to ask for help at the garden centre and see whether I can get something which does not need much looking after and will not die off in the winter and then I can just plant it and ignore it!
