3 Tier planter
« on: May 11, 2009, 21:24:41 »
Not sure where to ask this question, so if in wrong place, sorry, and could you tell me where to put it,

what I am after is a 3 tier metal planter, must be corner shape not round,
if anyone can put me onto a Garden Centre or web-site I will be very pleased.
thank you

Georgie

I saw a beautiful wrought iron one at the Festival of Gardening and Food at Capel Manor earlier this year.  I can't recall the name of the supplier but if no-one else can help you then it might be worth sending them an email and asking for a list of exhibitors?

Yes, that's right.  I found these details on their website:

Email: cservices@capel.ac.uk

Customer Services & Events Manager: Julie.Ryan@capel.ac.uk

The event was from 3-5 April.  Good luck.   :)

Would you believe it?  I was just sorting through some old papers and I found the event guide!  Unfortunately the list of exhibitors only gives the name 'Bakers' and billing 'ornamental iron works, pots and furniture' but this might help when you contact Capel Manor.   :)

There are some corner ones here:-

Is it a shelf you want to put pots on or an actual planter?

since then I have planted winter cabbage one side of large one, and they are doing well.

Have seeds ready to plant of Asparagus Pea, Broccoli Purple Sprouting, and Carrot Paris Market,

It looks like you've made good, and productive, use of the space.

Thanks all, must be honest I have a 'big' son and daughter,  :angel11:

will try and keep you posted on how these get on,
not to cheap to buy but if you have a small garden or bad back, they are ideal.

Look forward to the updates  :happy7: Just wondered have you grown Asparagus pea before? They don't seem to get many thumbs up for flavour? There are some good varieties of dwarf peas or Dwarf beans you could consider? They might be happy to spill over the edges of your planters and would make them easy to spot for picking. What about a tumbling type tomato to cascade down the side? I've got a few different types I could send you seed, if you'd like to try some?
Just a thought, Purple sprouting broccoli although delish makes quite a large plant and does take a while to crop, just wondered if it might overshadow the other plants?

Thanks for all the good advice, have already got the seeds for the 'peas' worth a try,
am only planing to do small amounts of veg,
the tumbling tomatoes is a brilliant idea would love some seeds, will PM you my address.
