    Finished the new potting bench all recycled materials I'm happy to say just need to find some 3/4" or 1" ply or better still block-board for the shelf underneath.



    Unfortunately I did not get time to sow my french beans so that will be a job for tomorrow along with a million other things.  🐖

    Great Job Hampshire_Hog, that'll great a lot of use. I don't know how I managed before we made my one. Was only thinking last night how on earth am I going to get it into my new greenhouse when I get it, it's to wide to go in through the door.

    Hey that looks great Hampshire_Hog, just the right size and height, well done.  I am sure it will prove to be a useful asset to you - can we hire you to build one for me?

    Dee you will have to place it and build the greenhouse around it  :D 
    GD I had looked at buying but they were all much to low and very small I had all the old wood laying around, the top is made from the slats from the base of an old single bed it's all come out of skips at some point  :)  It will get it's christening tomorrow I have a couple of troughs to plant up with Petunias and one with trailing pelargoniums for my mother 🐖

    Looks good HH, I need one too!  At the moment I use my mother's old garden table with a potting tidy on top, but a wooden one would look much nicer.  I've potted on a tray of small begonias and started digging up the plants in the narrow bed in the courtyard - just in case the fencing chap surprises me and turns up on Monday. He needs to dig up the old concrete spurs and install new ones, so most of my plants will have to be moved temporarily. I'm leaving the clematis to the very last minute as it's nearly in bloom.
