Well Cheryl has been trying to convert me to wheelbarrow planting for years - at last I succumbed !! There was nowhere else to put the bulbs that she gave me! LOL
I used recycled potting mix which was squirming with worms, so to stop the blackbirds having a picnic I covered it with bird netting. |

 YaY Val and about time too,   When do you want me to find you another one

if they don't they're weeds.

I've already got another one thanks Cheryl LOL! It's one that is so badly designed it falls over when you push it. Just needs some drainage holes drilled in it, all organised !

gosh...that looks great, val.
looking at your bulbs...i immeadiately thought: swedes.
now i need to go find a barrow to plant swedes in.
then i need place to put it.
small details.
but i'm wondering...if i just fill the barrow with mixed plop...the swedes are going to love that, aren't they?
think i'll have a peek at ebay.
cranky people live longer. i'm going to live forever! perth, wa |

That looks great Val. Make sure you take pics when they are flowering 
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.
