    Whats your weather like May 2024

    Light rain and a gentle breeze from the west north west temp 14c feels like 14c. We managed to get Berry out with no problems but didn't go the same way as usual, but enough.

    What CLIMBER can I grow in these pots?

    Other options could be an outdoor clock, garden wall art or a decorative rusted steel panel or figure, plus some outside lighting to illuminate the path/access/parking area.
