Give away.

I don't have many days like today....I was given the pick from a couple of dozen tubs and these were all I could get in my van.. I really must tidy it out!

 

Lucky you, Pal ... I love them all, in particular the little olive pot and trough with calcium (?) deposits on them.

Couldn't you fit a couple more on the passenger seat or floor ??????? or is that where these were situated? :D

 

Yes Lady...have you ever tried to drive with an Hydrangea branch hiding the gear stick?? :D

 

Good for you Pal, they look smashing.

As for the driving, that's your excuse & you're sticking to it .

cheers

 

Couldn't you do a second run I love them - they have such character.

 

To be honest with you,most of them were moulded concete urns,not my thing. Some still had price stickers on and the biggest cost �£125..!
Another bloke took a few and reckoned he could 'mellow' them with a cow muck wash,I'm not so sure because they were too smooth.

 

I've never driven with anything round my gear stick. Not since I was a student anyway. :D

 

The mind boggles john :D

 

You lucky s*d Pal, I had a terracotta pot twice the size of that one at the back with a large Chamy Humilis, it is now in 5 pieces thanks to the gales on monday. :(

 

Could you not 'age' the moulded concrete ones with a coating of natural yogurt? see here- http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf36735232.tip.html

Sorry about your pot Strongy :( :(

 

He told me his method today...He gets them shot blasted to roughen them up then buries them in his muck heap(he has a small holding and cattle)
The concrete 'sucks' in the juices for a couple of weeks then he leaves them in his greenhouses to age. It appears he has quite a business on the side for G-Centres....

 

So there you are, Nick, get yourself a muck heap.

 

:D
David,a few years ago I had a beauty!

 

very nice pal, i too like the olive pot, thats saved some money as pots are getting quite expensive.

 

See the Hydrangea on the left. Well, it needs tidying up don't you think? Never had the plant before and unsure how hard to cut it back. There is a tangle of dead wood but some have shoots along and at the tip of the branch. There are also a good amount of new growth at the base.
I will be keeping it in the warm afterwards.
