Yep, you could line them, or try a square pond basket if you can get a size slightly smaller than your pot. I've used these sort in some square terracotta pots I have ...
No snow here yet either - but some forecast for later. We shall see.
My chilli seeds have sprouted 🌶 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Always a thrill 🤣. I also took a leaf cutting from a house plant (Peperami) in about November, after we had learned how to do them in college. It has finally thrown up a new leaf .....you need far more patience than with seeds 🙄. But double thrilling all the same
That sounds delicious @raisingirl but the Scandinavians are, in my experience, great food lovers.
@Biglad if the pots are for blueberries the bigger the better and make sure you have a water butt so you can water with rainwater. I grew mine in 60cm pots but ended up digging them a huge hole in the potager and filling it with ericaceous compost so they never went short of water again after leaving them in the tender lack of care of a teenage neighbour one summer. Came home to find them crispy.

Bit more here @Dovefromabove! Harrie pusscat wanted to go outside, she lasted a long as it took to fill 1 bird feeder before hubby was filming her crying at the door!
Afternoon folks, Grey and very cold here but no heavy snow forecast. I spent yesterday sorting out all the seed sowing stuff and started chitting seed pots. Brought a bag of seed compost into the conservatory to warm up a bit ready for sowing.
No good news about SIL can't seem to get anyone to take a look at him with a view to prescribing steroids. Paramedics can't prescribe and told her to call the doctor. Their doctor says he wont prescribe unless he has an x-ray. She has been sitting up watching him breath for days worried sick. She eventually decided to take action today and has managed to get him in the car and driven him to the hospital, she had to leave the children at home and we are linked to them by facetime. According to the government website he isn't contagious now. We'll just have to see what they say. I really can't believe that this is the only way to get any help for him.
Stay safe and warm, especially those in the snow belt.

It means I can change the display when things like bulbs are dying back.
I top them off with leafmould so you can't see the inner pot.
