|
This is the herb wheel I bought at the craft fair last week-end. Yes, I know - it's not full of herbs -it's full of cyclamen!! I got twelve of these lovely little plants for only £4.80 (reduced from £2.99 each, BIG saving) and I think they look quite good in the planter.

Hehe Eils, and to think I was about to move this topic to the Herb Gardening forum The herb wheel looks like the Trivial Pursuit board, I like it. It will look better when it has aged a bit. Good find.

Eileen, it is my turn to be jealous. I love that herb wheel. I am planning a larger one for the garden next spring but that smaller one is great.
That one goes on Randy's honey-do list for sure.

I love it - haven't seen anything like that around here. Nothing cheers a body up like a good deal combined with plants.

Great find. I love cyclamen. I have planted some several times and I do believe the voles ate them.

We can plant cyclamen here, but they are about 6 bucks for a 4" and then we have to leave them in their pots but cut the bottom out. They don't last long in our winters because it is just too hot. But I love them....gorgeous things.
