Good use of pots and stones..:o)
Do your terracotta pots get damaged in the cold and frosty weather ? Or do you have mostly plastic pots ?

Yip! You guessed it Terratoonie, lots of my pots are plastic, however I do have a selection of terracotta pots. I have mixed fortune with these. I think the trick is to really check the pots when purchasing them. I have bought a few half-price pots which had hairline cracks in them. These just cracked with Wiinter frosts etc. The pots I bought new are still doing well. I have a number of clay pots whaich have been glazed and these are fantastic!

I believe the stones you see here are the best Type to purchase. They are called 'Spey' and were purchased form Rowebb in Kilmarnock. This stone is really crunchy sounding under foot but never breaks up. It looks terrific year round.
