i ran out of pots and was spending three quid a go just to get the plastic terracotta coloured ones- with the mother in laws tomatoes on the way this weekend i was in crisis and spending a fortune. so i put a "wanted" on freecycle and ended up with an estate car bootful of terracota and plastic terracotta coloured pots- at least fifteen big pots, and about fifteen small and two long trench type ones!
dh is shaking in his boots now as they are taking over the garden and it is beginning to look like his mum's garden. (his idea of a garden is decking, and a bark-chip playground for the ankle biter to have her slide etc on!!)
still, I was able to seperate the lettuce seedlings and put them each in one smallish pot with growbag soil in it (no compost here as only just moved in), and have planted more herbs, as well as a few radish, and more rocket.. plenty of big pots for the tomatoes and cucumber and squash left.
I am becoming a bit obsessed i think. my daughter is fully in the "terrible twos" so although i feel like a parenting disaster the gardening is giving me something positive to achieve- and is very relaxing!
