A colour many gardeners dislike can add brightness and lightness to your plot

Hello yellow

RECENTLY I had the idea to change the colour of our kitchen walls with a brighter, warmer and more welcoming one than the duck egg blue we've lived with for years.

So off we went to the paint store and decided yellow was the answer.

But what yellow? I'm sure you've been in the same situation so many choices, each with their own alluring name....

from Oat to Sand, to Sandcastle...or Sunshine Yellow...or Saffron or even Lemon Chiffon! In the end it was a toss up between Furze, a beautiful golden yellow and Sun Dust, similar but a bit brighter.

For me that was the hard part over because, reader, she took over the project and we now have a brilliant paint job all but completed, with Furze winning out in the end.

It got me thinking that yellow in the garden as well as in the paint shop can be a challenge. And as it's synonymous with spring, while she painted I wandered through our plot to enjoy whatever was yellow outside.
