Latest moan from you and me 2026
A bus stop near me has been painted, well there is quite a large pothole and this has been painted over. Instead of the words bus stop it should read large pothole.

You dont want it too rich for summer bedding, otherwise you get lots of leaf and not so much flowers. IMO, better to go with ordinary compost, either soil based or multipurpose and liquid feed with high potash once the plants start flowering, a few weeks after planting up the containers.

Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?
I usually get a few sunflowers come up in the veg area, but nothing really edible, lots of datura.

any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?
A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
