    Got lucky this morning when we saw some terracota/clay pots advertised on freecycle, we messaged about them and got a reply straight away that we could pick them up straight away too. Expecting small pots I was pleasantly surprised to get these beauties;

    6 large pots (pictured) and also 4 clay troughs, 3 smaller pots and a bag full of broken pots for drainage :dancy::)

    2 days ago I also got a lovely 30 inch tall Acacia seedling too :biggrin:

    Happy Days :)

              Only scrub the inside though - you should leave the weathering on the outside, adds to the character of the pots.

                Ha!

                Seems I've just "won" something on Freecycle :dancy: A large dog crate! Now, last year I put two requests in and never got even a sniff. Now I've bagged a large one (and I don't even want it for Ozzy, he's got one - I wanted one for my broody hens :heehee: )
