Went to B and Q this morning as my wife wanted a wheelbarrow planter.When i saw the price of them i told her politly to jog on and i will make it myself.So when i got home i made one please see pictures.

Its not very elegant but for my first time i think i have done very well and my wife is over the moon with it.

Flowering nicely:))))
