pink, purple and blue edible garden, and a front door to match

I chose the edibles for the dappled courtyard garden floor, to coordinate with the front door repainting:
There is Beetroot, Ruby lettuce, red lettuce, and some flowers of coordinating hues.

I could have been welcoming people with a manicured door for years, but put up with an uninspiring and rather ragged one. For no good reason (saving a few dollars is not a good reason , when you live in an economy like ours). If I could persuade the neighbors into getting a 'paint bank' going, we could all repaint our doors every year, as outlandish as we liked, and trade the leftovers. Its my guess there is a greater volume of paint lurking in the Garages of Australia, than all the hardware stores put together.
We did the pink rim first, then my German Housemate had a few manly words with me. I tried deepening it to wine, but it came out that lilac color Ive used in the panels. Even though I'm an illustrator, its impossible to predict the outcome from looking at chips in the paint store. You just have to take a risk, keep you mistakes small to start with, re-paint and re-pay for them - they will happen. Creating something worth it always takes a few drafts. Looking at my door fills me with hope, and gratitude to Myriam my WWOOFer voluteer assistant, and (lucky me) wallpainting restoration expert.

Here is Myriam. Yes, she really is doing
heavy duty construction work using nail polish.

Inconveniently, I've a parallel desire to plant an edible Japanese Garden in this front courtyard once the cool weather hits. What then for the gorgeous, garish colors?
If any locals want some discounted paint leftovers, let me know. If anyone is painting in a green-tea/rice cracker color combination later in the year, and has leftovers, let me know that too.
