I rescued a pink topaz aster and 24 pansies from Homebase clearance shelf. The aster is bursting out of the pot so will probably split x 4 to bed up with the purple dome asters which are making a ribbon of colour through my cottage garden border. Common but reliable and they do well here.

The pansies are already in the window box that has been empty for a day

I bought a sack barrow from Screwfix to move my heavy pots. Its a sturdy one that will take weights up to 150 kilos and it was already made up which was a bonus - I was expecting a self assembly job

A sack barrow was one of my best gardening purchases. My current one was from screwfix. Its had some serious abuse and is still going strong

Not exactly a purchase. Went to the local nursery and swapped some surplus brugmansias for the stuff on the table and a ginger

That's a very reasonable price for Zebra grass . It's an excellent grass that is tough as old boots, is happy with most soils and positions although is happiest in sunny, moist, well drained soil. At the size you have bought it, it should establish quickly. Don't prune it back until early Spring (unless it's looking tatty) but don't leave it later than that as the new stems will start to grow then.

Once well established you may find, after a few years, that it's getting a bit big for the site. That's easily solved as it is quite simple to split with a spade. Then you have some established plants to put elsewhere, or give away or sell. We sell ours on Open Day for £2.50.
