    Very nice LMRR, I notice a couple of planters or wooden crates in the first shot..but, but, but they are empty...and I spotted some seedlings in the wildlife garden shot...maybe the two should meet up?..:lollol:

    I just love your Roses...hope they are scented.!

    Lol @ JWK

    Thanks YDD and Steve. You're very eagle eyed Steve. The wooden planters my hubby made for me to sell at the local fete and we only sold one. Loadsa people loved them but didn't have the room. I just looked at them cause I love them and thought I could put them out the front and plant them up or put them on ebay.

    These are the planters:

    My hubby made them to my design and said that no one would want to buy them. I think they look good although I'm probably a bit biased. The first thing I sold on my stall was the small planter so they couldn't be that bad

    :gnthb: It's looking great! I love the planters too, where did you source the wood?

    Are you feeding your strawberries? Mine do great in my recycled barrels with a regular feed - or slow release fertiliser - so it might give yours a bit of a boost. :)

    Your roses are fantastic too - are any of them ramblers?

    The wood was from 2 crates that used to transport paving slabs.

    Sar I keep forgetting to feed my plants so I think I should go out and do it soon lol

    I have some oak planks stored in my garage.
    Planters like yours might be the way forward.
    Should last for ever.

    I've finally been able to get myself a cage for my veggie patch to keep cats, my dogs and butterflies out and make it easier for me to work on it as I can use it how it was supposed to be used ie no bending lol

    I won a Magnum plesurecard from Magnum icecream and my card had £50 on it so I put that towards my cage

    Your veg is looking good lmrr, I think the chap climbing your wall needs to put on a bit of weight though.

    That cage does look good though, where did you get it from? I've just been up my the garden and the cabbage whites are out in force today, finding their way under my netting, all this rain has made my cabbage & sprouts grow like mad and pushed the netting off the ground.
