Angel's Trumpets

Angel's Trumpets or Brugmansia adds drama and fragrance to the summer garden.  Fast growers, easy to propagate and have fragrant tropical blooms for several weeks at a time.  Typically overwintered in a greenhouse this plant can be hardy here on the South Coast if given the right protection.

Part of the nightshade plant family, these plants are considered toxic so be cautious if using around children and pets.

New purpose for vintage galvanised poultry feeders


I've made hanging planters using old galvanised poultry feeders and waterers.  This is very simple to do.  Some sturdy chain, a few S hooks and a drill.  These can be used indoors or outside.  If using them outside its best to add some drainage holes.
