              Homebase have hanging baskets of Chilli plants (Basket of Fire)
              Since my Strawberry hanging baskets are done for this year I might buy 2 if even only for the seed. I tried these this year and they were the only Chilli that never germinated...So for £4 a pop for a large productive plant ...I dont mind paying...and I will also pick up the terracotta pots for the legs of the "Terracotta Gardener" lol

                          As I never work to a designated plan the in-between time allows me to think and change things on the fly...I might see something else on my travels, something that would improve on my existing thought for this piece...but mainly it allows time for the missus to become accustomed to the idea of some stranger taking up bench space in our garden hahahahaha

                              Just bought a 3 foot trunk of a Tree Fern, so going to look, tomorrow, for a suitable large container to put it in and some suitable compost.:coffee::snorky:
