    Suggestions for the Christmas present from hell as far as I’m concerned

    This morning I've been out rounding up all the plastic pots that blew around the garden yesterday. So pot storage?

    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    Rosemary is a good idea. It flowers, used in cooking, grows quickly and growing cuttings is easy. Tough plant as it grows up mountains in Greece.

    What are we doing in the garden 2025

    Both the Acers in question are red, can't remember if they are disectum or palmatum. Even if they are palmatum they are small leaves. As they are not in my garden and it's winter I can't check.:sad:

    Supporting a plant in a plant pot container

    Cut three or four appropriately sized sections off a bamboo cane and wedge them horizontally between the inner and outer pot. Should aid stability and allow humidity to rise.
