Hi Gardengirl

Not sure if this is any good or if they have colours but I found this

Or maybe what the grafitti artists use Montana or Krylon may work and they have a full range of colours.

que son preciosas! ¿Te pintar el interior también?

Good day

What a great idea, I'd be happy to and seeds, I had a very good year last year with a new wildflower patch.  I bought the seeds initially but have harvested tonnes and they are so easy and the bee's and birds loved them in my garden and I'd be happy to share .

I,m still a very novice gardener but it would be great to have a go, save money and recolonise

Oh I'm sooo glad I joined GW forums.

These are great Gardengirl, well done for not giving up think I'dve rolled the damn thing away before now but they look great.

Lidia Cabanella's are beautiful too.

Have you decided on the colours yet although they look great washed black and the plant will set them off beautifully.

Any ideas what your going to plant up in them yet?

Advice on planting native hedgerow please

Hi Helen - what a great project.  I just ordered some bare root native hedging for my garden but I have opted for the thorny variety due to unwanted visitors vandalising our garden and will be watching with interest.  Quick question, did you use any root hormone when planting your bare root plants?

Good luck and looking forward to the pictures 

Trellis screen - any idea how much?

Hi there

I just saw this thread and wanted to say I did mine trellis screening myself, and for a girl it was quite easy. We didn't need our posts cementing in as the site is sheltered and the screening is for privacy from a new housing estate at the back of our garden.

I bought my trellis from a local timber merchant and for 6x6 it cost me £15.00 per panel plus £10.00 for delivery.  The posts we got from Wickes at £12.00 each and I bought post spikes at £5.00 each, oh and the thingy you put the spikes in with at £5.00.

An afternoon, a lump hammer and a power screwdriver and all done and the money I saved meant I could buy some lovely bluebell paint to paint then new screening.

Just a thought but it is cheaper and more fun to stand back and look at your own work if you can.
