      I've made one of these earlier in the year. It has filled out nicely now. :)

      That reminds me of childhood, an Aunt of mine who was a 1920s artist.. I used to love holidays at her house, an Aladdin's cave.. I have several old broken big pots that could have that treatment done quite successfully hmm food for thought.. Thanks Pam and Lea.. :SUNsmile:

          Thank you for that idea, pamsdish. I just love the one with steps ... so simple. I have broken pots as well (who doesn't?, she mumbles) and just have them lying around here and there in rockeries.

            Is Fairy Liquid safe to use on roses with greenfly?
