You remember the very first post on this blog? 'Making life more beautiful'. It showed something I look at every day - my window box - in summer.

Well, I'm quite proud of the early spring version too. My Christmas Roses have finally started to come into flower. I'm hoping this is going to be an easy windowbox that saves me time, too as these plants could happily stay in there all year round and still look presentable. Giving me more time to keep up food production on the allotment.

I've found a good link with tips on how to care for and propagate Christmas Roses. Do comment and tell me how yours are getting on...
