present of my brother

That's gorgeous San!
What a lovely memento of their visit!

Lovely pot San, your brother has good taste and also better to get it empty so you can have the fun of choosing and filling it yourself. Good choice of plants too, you will have something to look at during winter and also to think of your brother. I think I would rather have flowers than strawberries too.

thanx mari, its lovely, it seems very quiet here now,
thankyou lily i think your right, i do prefere flowers myself :o)

I agree! But I love berries!

i only had about 4 strawberries on my 4 plants mari, cheaper to buy a punnett lol

Sandra its brill, i've got strawberry pots, not as nice as that like, but i got rid of all stawberry plants, not putting anymore in, i thought of of pansies or violas, now i've seen yours i'm definetly going to do it.

good, glad you like it carol, thought the heather would be something differant to

I agree its set it off. Think i'm going to make my tea, as Smokey as just come meowing for his.

ok carol take care cya soon xx

Looks really cool SB. Liking that with the different colours planted around it. Nice gift...nice planting :0)-

thanx OB, its not easy at this time of summer to get something that will fit just right, years since i had any heather, maybe it will be lucky heather :o))

Sure it will be and looking at how well your garden is going, it seemed to have been lucky before you even bought it!! Nice one.

cheers OB, :o)

Beautiful container, and pretty planting :o)
.... from a very special brother....xxx

I used bizzie lizzies in mine last summer, they looked very good. I like the choice of plants for the winter.
love the colour of the glaze too.

Lovely pot...herbs would look great too. What a thoughtful present.

Very nice San. I should re-do mine I suppose. I have rockery/alpine plants in my pockets, which look nice in the Spring.

Will do.

What a beautiful gift Sandy and you have finished it off a treat , it looks so pretty .. I love the colours :o)

thanx amy, :o)))

Lovely pot Sandra and a good reminder of your family visit. Did you not get many strawberries this year because they were first year plants or are they plants from previous years

It's lovely San and you've made a nice choice of plants for it too. What a lovely gift from your relations :o)

richard they were first year plants, so maybe thats why, thanx,
cheers hywel glad you like it, it was lovely of them and when i look out i smile :o)

Sandra,strawberry plants are more prolific in their second and third years so hopefully next year will be better (or did you throw them out!).

no i still have them richard so will keep them now thanx

Thats great Sandra - we have some runners coming off our first year plants so I will be planting them up before too long and trying to find a space for them and the main plants to keep over the winter. You soon run out of space don't you

yes ive planted some runners up hope they survive the winter, and yes soon run out of space, never enough space lol

A beautiful pot Sandra and very thoughtful and kind gesture from your Brother and his family. Love the glazed finish and the way you have planted it up, like you say a lovely reminder of the time they spent with you.

thanx PP, it was lovely to get this, told them off for spending though lol

Im sure that their memories of their holiday with you was worth every penny!

well ive told them they can stay any time PP,:o) it was fun
