Sempervivum in Pig Troughs

 I finally got around to planting the Sempervivum that I grew from seeds three years ago.This heavy stone pot was bought at the car boot sale a few weeks ago. They look a little sparse at the moment but they will soon fill the pots.

These Pig troughs have been knocking around for years they came from the pig sties that where originallyat the back of the house years ago

I have tried growing herbs in them also half hardy annuals but the troughs  are too shallow and the compost  dried out too quickly and not enough room for the roots

Hopefully this choice is finally the correct one they looked so nice when they are finished. I was just thinking the troughs them selves must be abouT 150 years old

They looked so nice on the wall that edges the Vegetable garden

Hopefully These two small plants will be happy in their new homes
