do ya realy like my modern art lol its made to hang in the garden as thats a concrete frame ive carved with some of the pattern.the roses my dad loved are the same with the leaf inprints round the edge.the globes have to be cut before they flower to eat but like my fennel i dont eat it .i love just the vast amount of insects that actualy seam to get drunk and stay the night .they dont even buzz properly.i dont just love the plants lets face it there is something quite amazing about a snail.i work with the insects and theres nothing my sturgeon likes better than a nice crushed snail.i water the garden from my tank and pond and then fill them back up giving them a water change.this plant is such a fave of mine and so easy to grow just for good measure.all the dogs got a bit of cake we got jerry springer whos the daddy,merkin the staffy x american bulldog who has the sweetest nature,sausage the sharpei,blanche or asbo as i like to call her ,frank the ow so chilled man french bulldog and stan the man our little 3 month pug.glad you all liked it take care bye for now x

how about putting in some bamboo membrane in a line and getting a few different colours.you could even put a couple of climbers on it and it can handle the cold and the clay to a degree.be different and instant

its safe but be ready to change it quite often as wood rots easily next to soil unless you do one course of bricks to keep it of the soil and line the inside woth polythene.

 

terracotta can be done but you wont have to give it a key as its already got one so yes and if you varnish them inside and out the pots will last a lot longer.terracotta pots are only fired to about 750 degrees so are pouras.this means they can soak up water and freeze and crack.clay has to be fired to about 1150-1200 to seal it so sealing them even without paint is a great idea anyway.you can kill to birds with one stone.you can use thompsan concrete sealer on terraccota to which is cheaper than varnish and over the spray paint.car spray paint is very hard to get of so though thats good for longivity it isnt if you spray it on something else.id do a load as a job lot in the garden,well ventilated and on a big bit if paper or old tarp.varnish for the plastic though
