see how my garden grows...

"Container plants are a bit like babies.  They rely entirely on you for every aspect of their lives: food, drink, comfortable compost for their roots, the right amount of sun or shade.  But provided you plant them properly and treat them well, they'll be bouncing and bonny - a real credit to your fostering skills."
