IN OUR GARDENS 2025

[Eric Gibson]

Back in the late sixties when I bought my shop dad made two of these for me to display fruit and veg outside, when I sold the shop I used them for tools in my workshop.
Now I'm finished with all that I tarted them up and intend to use them for pot plant displays but I'm no gardener so advice needed on what potted plants to put in them.

lovely job eric...looks like you may get 2 or 3 med pots in each section...could suggest pansies...petunias...bizzy lizzies and for the front put trailing lobelia as they should trail down nicely...just an idea..

Depends if you want permanent plants or change them with the seasons.

Thanks Lyn, and Janice I really haven't thought about that.

Robin nesting in our wall planter by the kitchen door. I’m unable to plant my trailing lobelia now but great to watch.

Poor thing, looks like he`s been dragged through a hedge backwards, like all birds, a dedicated parent.

Yesterday a quick visit by a badger who looked quite smaller than the other.

Last night a visit from the fox who marched quickly close to the camera !
