    I posted a pic of it empty last year, when i found it at the bottom of my sisters garden. Think you had one a bit like it.......but maybe wrong.

    I'll see if i can find a pic.

    Oh it's lovely Lily image Will you do all hostas or dot something else in?

    Think I'll put trailing plants in again but not sure what else. Its just full of earth at the mo. I transferred the hostas into the ground over winter.

    A few years ago I bought a belfast sink on ebay.  I got mixed up with cm and inches and it turned out to be twice as big as most belfast sinks and is a herculean task to move.  I filled it with a range of alpines, that all got eaten overnight by slugs / snails and it's lain empty ever since.  However, I'd really like to move it to my shady patio where I grow hostas and ferns etc.  Can anyone recommend plants for me to grow in it?  I'm just thinking that if you all say "NO!" I'll think twice about actually moving the beast to that area and find a sunnier spot elsewhere.  Thanks.

    Oh I wouldn't move cloud as like you say they are so heavy! Why don't you plant up again but this time with a good snail barrier! 

    Lily is it gonna be a surprise?! image What type of trailing plants? image
