    I got my phyllistachis nigras delivered and put them in the £5 planters that mum told us about!

    I also planted my phormium I bought for 1.50 along with the fern.

    Also, planted my crocosmia and tigridia bulbs in pots ready for the late spring/ summer image.jpg

        Al, it looks the biz, honestly. Love it.
        Sorry to say, temptingly "boot fair" merchandise. Are they nickable by Joe Public?

          They are heavy now they're planted,but if people want to nick them, then they'll nick them. But I suppose even if they were planted in a front border and someone wanted to nick them, then the same applies. Sad, but that's society!
