We planted on poor 'soil' where really only nettles thrived, so there is perhaps less competition for the meadow flowers. Time will tell. We thinned and transplanted lots of snow drops and daffodil bulbs so hopefully we should have some near year round colour.
McM - looks fab, we thought about growing wild flowers in large planters. Which species did you grow?
They are mostly a mix of poppies, corn flowers, cosmos and marigolds. The fun of a meadow mix is not really knowing what will come up. You might want something longer lasting in a planter though.
cheers

I think partly what kept me motivated to see this through and to consider the changes, upgrades, parts sourcing and the multitude of decisions you need to make on any build was the support and enthusiasm of the folks on here. One could do a lot worse than post an build blog here.
This afternoon I ripped up an old fence, strimmed the nettles and pruned back the lower branches of the conifers. It's made a big difference to the light that finds its way into the studio.

So, I went for a hybrid of Farrow and Ball's Dove Tale and Elephant's Breath. It's pretty subdued but when the sun catches it it becomes much warmer. By the end of the day much of the sun had gone, but the pics should give you a flavour.
BBC Radio 4, You and Yours on Monday. Essential listening for wood shed fabricators I reckon:

And we talk about posh paint given names like "Elephant's Breath".
my shed is painted in 'sea grass', with pretty bunting up over the windows 🙂

Just caught this on iPlayer. I think James Bond's DB5 was coloured Elephant's Breath too.
As seen in black and white.
