Sorry Beaus, didn't mean to be vague, but not sure myself yet. Have tried to over winter two of the trailing plants for the pot from last year. Can't remember what they are called Will try and find the labels
Not sure i'd move it either cloud. You could always put Alpines in there. Or maybe have one type during the summer months and then change it for winter flowering plants.
Beaus, the labels are in the shed.......and its lashing down at the mo But heres one, its called Nepeta Hederacea variegated. The other i'm trying to save has small redish flowers on it. Also had trailing lobelia in the pot.
I use my belfast sinks for either geraniums or, last year I used them to sow peas and used the pea shoots in salads rather than let them grow and also cut and come again salads.
I have just finished reading this thread, and wonder if Orchid Lily and other contributors are still using this forum, or anyone else who can share pictures of their planted up Belfast sinks.
I am planning to plant mine up with Saxifrage and House Leeks this week. Any tips, advice or pictures will be helpful, thanks.
Oh Joyce, that is very disheartening for you, and for me too I assume the blackbirds liked the taste of the plants.
I do hope that our sink will thrive, after all the effort my OH and neighbour took in placing the sink - they are so heavy - it really is a two/three man job to move them.

GD. I used to have that combination but the blackbirds destroyed it. They have destroyed a large shallow planter of saxifrage this spring.
For a few years, I have had a dwarf Scabious in both sinks, along with a creeping campanula and thyme.

I am not getting any notifications are you?
GD . I wouldn't mind so much if they ate them but it's sheer vandalism in the spring!!!!
I reported the loss of notifications to Norah on Friday. You should have an "astilbe" PM.
