    Had a bit of spare cash so went out and bought a few bits. I planted on my large dicksonia into a large trug, and bought 2 coleus canina and a cephalaria gigantea. I also bought a nice little plaque and repotted one of my bamboos and planted up another hanging basket.

                    Thanks guys, the plaque Is a bit of soppy one, when the wife and I first met I used to call her freckles so the plaque is very apt.

                    We all spent the whole day ( other than buying these few bits) in the garden, painting, having lunch etc, gorgeous day!

                        And I thought you might dump a rusty 'ald trolley instead!


                        Thanks Stephen, it's growing rapidly now, chuffed as with it.
