As I've posted before, I sometimes find it a wrench to get rid of seasonal planting when it's time for the new set.
As it was October 1st yesterday it's time for the winter planting, but because we've had such good weather some of our contracts (like this hotel in Bournemouth) still look fantastic.
But out it must come, and be replaced with tiny little Pansies, Ivy and Polyanthus.
This hotel followed my advice and has three seasonal changes a year, rather than just two. I find the winter stuff struggles to make it all the way from October to late May so a refresh in late winter makes it look better for spring.
Still, there's something deeply odd about planting winter flowers when it's 20 deg C.
