I have an old porcelain laboratory sink out side my front door
Alpines, houseleeks etc. They're small, they're cheap, they're not much
work. Gardening doesn't get much better than that :-))
I have several shallow pots planted with alpines which do really well on
my hot
roof garden.
Thank-you all for your suggestions. I hadn't discovered alpines before
so this is opening up a whole new area for me.
And here's another tip. Car boot sales are about to become a good source for
these plants. A couple of years ago we found a stall weighed down with them
and knocking them out at 50p!
We thought " at that price we can get a few extra and allow for failures" We
did. There weren't any :-))
