Better than the beer?

That's what Chris says anyway!

We had a lot of frost damage with our terracotta pots last winter and this (one of two) was Chris' answer. I think they look rather splendid. I took them today as we go away on Thursday and anything in the garden may not survive if we have no rain.
My son (30) will be here but he tends not to see plants he will be under instruction to water, and eat, the tomatoes but we cannot really expect anything else!
