update on plants in guttering

looking really good richard and taking up no room at all really ;o))

Yes Sandra useful idea for anyone with a small garden and who wants some extra space-thanks for your visit :-)

Wow i want a shed now!! No where to put it Guttering idea is fab!!

Thanks Great you could put the guttering on a fence, on top of a fence etc-even on the floor or on some bricks :-)

i have to be honest ..when you first started this i was sceptical ! ! i shouldn`t have been ... everything is looking well and wouldn`t mind giving it ago myself.. do you have to water alot richard ?

Only when it is dry Viv-the rain running off the shed roof waters the top one :-)

thanks richard ..the planting posibilities must be endless

Yes Viv. If you have the gutter planted up in the greenhouse, you can also slide the plants from the trough and straight into furrows in the garden when there is no more fear of frost :-)

It's a really good idea, and everything is coming along so well now.

Thanks Hywel I should be able to pick some lettuce in a few more weeks :-)

Great idea everything doing well.

do u transplant them or not

No Cristina I leave them in there and my theory is that they flower well as they are crowded in there. I used to get fuchsias to flower by 'potting back' putting them in a smaller pot and when the roots go around the pot they start flowering:-)

This is such a great idea, Rich, and something I hadn't even thought of~clever use of space and guttering~inspirational!!! :~))

Thanks Flori - I like to pop out now and again to see how they are getting on :-)

:~))x

wot a brilliant idea to brighten up the shed. Might work with ours in future, though it doesn't get loads of light - ?

The marigolds do not get a lot of light where they are here Weeding but they seem to come up OK. :-)

Love the whole gutterig thing Richard.

One of the dwarf sunflowers is showing through as well! WOOHOO!!

Yhat's great Dan I have a few dwarf sunflowers a couple of inches high now. All of these came from just one sunflower last year that our daughter''s friend gave us. :-)

I have three gutters now on the side of my shed....just started planting them up with lettuce .. :-)
