Oh Muddy I am sooooo jealous of your garden junk!!! What a fantastic shape!! Do you know what it was origionally by any chance? I'd love to have something like that in my garden.
My blackcurrant bush and sedum are at exactly the same stage as yours at the moment and they really do add some welcome colour to the garden at this time of year don't they?

The garden junk was part of a planter left by a tenant at my mother's
home that she rents out. It came with a nice iron base on which sat a horrible plastic pot and then this piece sat on top. I think the idea is to grow vines in the pot to entwine around the piece photographed. The original base now has a nice black ceramic pot that has lamium trailing from it.
Richard, I think sedums grow in your area. But the hedge is a black currant. I looked it up and it said best grown in zones 1-6,17, but grown in all zones except where irrigation or soil is high in sodium. In hot summer areas grow in shade. I got this information from the Sunset Western Garden Book. By the way, this is incredibly fragrant in the spring!

Love that metal. That was a lucky find for you. I'm always looking for junk. That hedge is lovely and so is the sedum.
