    I'm looking for Buddlieas and weigalias if anybody would like to do a swap only looking for young plants don't plan on using these.

    Going to be stepping up a gear next week if anybody would like these and can pick them up slip me a few quid for some plants you can have them.

        I bought some thin metal planters in a sale from a well known DIY store a couple of years ago. One thing: when you plant them up, "line" the inside of them with some thick cardboard. Why? Because once the sun hits the metal they can soon heat up and any roots that are touching the metal ... well ... ouchie! :heehee:

        Loving your creativity :thumbsup:

          Thanks for the tip M.
