It seems to me that the people who do paint their woodwork
these bright colours are those who really aren't into
gardening (my apologies to those of you who have beautiful
perennial gardens and bright blue fences). They seem
largely to be people who want an instant, designer type
garden with maximum impact and very few plants, maybe a
clump of bamboo and a fatsia or two. I haven't seen a blue
fence yet that looks attractive, but then if it was hidden
behind a lot of the plants that we all love, maybe it would
look better. BUT, the other day, I did see on television, a
fence painted a very dark green (a colour that has been
acceptable over here for quite a few years). They put into
the borders some lovely perennials and shrubs with red
flowers and red leaves and I thought that looked fantastic.
I think red and green are opposites on the colour wheel, so
that should look good, shouldn't it?
