Mary gold, I made my own, one large pot one medium and one small. Fill each with compost plant round the outside edge then place medium pot in centre and do the same. The small pot goes on top with one two or three plants in depends on size then place in sheltered sunny corner not forgetting to water and turn the whole assembly every day or so. My grand children ask every year, are we getting a strawberry mountain again this year, of course with a pea pyramid and green bean trellis, one way to get them eating greens.
Have actually done some gardening this afternoon. Sunny day and sodden garden is drying out. Weeded and tidied the centre of the upper middle bed and planted some violas in it. There was a piled wheelbarrow full of rubbish.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Glad to hear from you Wintersong, you OK?. Meant to garden today but my friend popped in for a quick cuppa and stayed 3 hours. Had a good catch up and we booked a few days in East Suffolk to visit gardens in June.
Lovely warm day here (compared to last week anyway). I stirred the compost and gave it a layer of cardboard to help the worms a bit. Pinched out the tops of my g'house sweetpeas then had to go and visit a friend. Wish I had more time outside today as I could have got stuck into some early spring pruning. Can't wait to get started - there's lots to do!

Glorious spring-like day, moved a very old deciduous shrub growing perfectly happily in middle garden until I changed my colour theme
Had to buy a large plastic tub because it's new carefully coordinated position is not yet ready
Topiarized a Euonymus fortunei that has gained much elegance from this enjoyable past time
Stirred the compost bin
looks A-mazing
P.S broke my spade

Lovely to 'see' you W'song
I could almost have gardened today having come home from work - it's still light...just!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

No B3, definitely no vampires. I also have this mini vampire hunters kit so that should sort them out
