‘Prima Donna’ & ‘Fimbriata’ Begonias With Colourful Coleus 😊

Hello everyone it's Jeanette here again from Enthusiastic Gardener and today I have to tell you I don't know about you maybe it's just me I don't know but I find it very difficult to sit still in my garden and relax and enjoy it and I know that I need to do that but every time I sit there I see something that I could do and and I get ideas of oh I could move that over there and that could go there and before I know it I've jumped up again and off I go and that's what's happened again because I saw these four pots have just been sitting around by my my friend AJ calls it my battle station but it's not my battle station it is my um potting bench that's the words I was looking for anyway these four pots have been sitting there and I thought well I could dot them about in the garden and get a little bit of height in the garden that would be a good thing why don't I try that so I'm jumping up and trying it out and also I thought I could pot my begonias let me show you my begonias I potted up these begonias there's lots I have sorry about that I have lots of them but look how well they're doing and these are two different ones one is called primadonna and that's a lovely pink color and then the other one is the other ones these are nice as well these are called fimbriata so I thought let's put those little corms I did let's put those in these four pots put them in the borders somewhere let's have a play around and see if I can come up with a little design so I thought you might like to join me these are the ones I'm talking about oh gosh they're quite heavy and I wasn't using them but I should use them and there's four of them and they've just been stuffed in this corner so let's go and have a dot around could even have one high like that I suppose double height we'll see let's have a look so here's what I was thinking I'm just going to dot them about and see what if anything looks nice let's have a look I need to stand back you've got to you've got to imagine there's beautiful pink flowers I like that one I think this one's a bit in your face yes or or a bit further along I like it there I like it there yes I like it here because we could do with a little bit of color in this gap but we don't have anything that's going to grow tall because this is in the way so I think that would be nice there and two more I'm thinking of this bed here maybe one there perhaps just over a little bit there what I was thinking here you can see that I've put these stepping stones around the back which go all the way around here I haven't sunk them yet because I'm still living with it and the reason I put them there is because they seem to be a natural a natural pathway there already because you can see all these in the middle that's kind of like a little central area of planting but what I might do is bring these ones through here because then it's kind of symmetrical and it means that I need to move this slug trap and this protein tiller and this is only in a pot I don't know what to do with this this was my bonsai but I don't really have a lot of affection for it I have to say yes I might bring it around here the stepping stones that's what I mean I can't sit still because I'm always thinking of new ideas I think I'm going to do that I'm going to move this move these stepping stones around and then it's kind of more symmetrical so that's of course added to my list of things to do let me do that quickly and then we can have another look at where this pot should go okay so I've moved the stepping stones as you can see they now go in a kind of a symmetrical shape around this central planting bed which I think looks nice I moved the protein tiller just to the right and I also moved this hooker which was just to the left of the stones I've just moved that to the right so I think I'll put one of the pots down the front here I might sink it in just a tiny bit and then the other one as you can see is back there and I had a thought as well that I do have some coleus so as well as the begonias I could add some coleus which I'll show you in a moment and I think that will brighten up the spot and look hopefully fabulous I just got to feed Lottie and Lucy because they have reminded me that they are very very hungry yes you're hungry that's for Lottie there's Lottie's here Lucy hey Lucy there you go good girls they're back to back eating good girl okay so now I know where they're going so I've got four pots as you know and two I'm going to put the fimbriatas in two I'm going to put the primadonnas and any leftovers I can plant underneath the pots in the actual ground which I think will look very pretty and I also have some coleus and when I bought these they were tiny and I've looked after them in the greenhouse so we can drop those in and hope that the slugs don't find them oh yes they already have holes in just to mention and I've just got a normal this is actually container basket planting mix and it's specially blended it says for season-long flowers trying to take my glove she loves taking my glove and running off with it and that's that and I planted three begonias there and I planted the rest of the coleus as well there and then over the back we have a little one in there so that's it from Lottie and from me I'm Jeanette I'm the enthusiastic gardener another couple of little jobs done and so that's made me happy and I need to go in get showered and cleaned because I am very very hot it's been very hot day here today at least we've got a few jobs done so take care everyone have fun in your gardens and we will see you very soon bye
