          I've got a few ferns dotted around the garden in odd shady spots. Will see if I find a spare one to pot up for you mate. :dbgrtmb:

                      Sorry Zigs.:roflol:
                      Just think it would be better if the bath was inside.

                      And did all that dirt in the bottom really come off of you?:biggrin:

                        Yep, needed a good scrub :)

                        It's better than carting water down from the top flat :doh::)

                          You've done an amazing transformation @Zigs. The difference from start to now is massive!

                            Nice bit of improvisation there Zigs. A brilliant example of how to turn even the most unpromising location into a productive space. :dbgrtmb:

                            Did spot a couple of things.

                            That cat's got its tail in the air, you sure it's just water in the bath? :oops:.....

                            ...and is that a sycamore I see next to those wooden steps in the background? Proper little aphid breeding ground there if it is. Before you know it they'll be all over your lettuces. :biggrin:

                              Keep finding one of the cats in the bath :biggrin:

                              There is a Sycamore, I keep cutting it back :)
