Refurbished Planter..

I had two like that about 15 years ago. They were actually rooted cuttings. They were quite hardy, grew and grew
into full size plants.
Will go and look in the 99p shop here to see if they have any. Make up for the standards I paid GC £25 each for
that have reverted.
These are now making more shoots up the stem, so if
thats what they want to do, they are quite welcome
to be shrubs !

Reminded me to give my dead apple tree trunk another coat of sky blue paint, plus a tired planter, Nanjo.
Must get these jobs done whilst the weather is dry.

I have a tub like that, pretty old and tatty, but you have made a real good job of that, and the colour just sets those pretty little roses off beautifully.

That looks great, what a bargain those roses were!

Job well done Nanjo and the roses look lovely in their new home......

All looks very stylish!

It looks lovely. Does emulsion paint last very long on plastic planters? I have lots of candidates if it does

What a shame about your standards Di,you must be so disappointed. I went to the 99p shop again today and bought another 4 so had to paint a 2nd trough ready to plant up tomorrow. I hope mine will carry on growing like yours did.Do you use a special paint on your tree trunk ?

Thanks Cinders, I wasn't sure about the colour at first but was pleased when it was planted up,amazing what a bit of paint can do isn't it ?

Yes they were Lou and they had loads more today..

Thanks Lincs & Scottish ,I keep looking at my other pots now and wondering.......

Thank you but to be honest Stera I don't know, it's the first time I've tried it. I've used cans of car paint but even that gets scratched eventually. I painted the top of my swing bin in the kitchen with it a few months ago and that is fine. Admittedly I'm the only one here to use it and I tend to be careful.

It looks great now anyway.

Just an update Stera on the paint..We had a downpour when I was out today and the lip of the planter that is in the garden is no longer smooth so it may not last too long . I have another by my front door which is in the dry and that one is ok ( for now ! ) ...I think I will try gloss on another and see how that goes, at least it's using up some of my spare paint :-)
