    What's in your bucket (MFB)?

    Lots of us grow veg in flower buckets bought/scrounged from supermarkets and florists - known here are MFBs (Morrisons' flower buckets).
    I thought it would be good to share what we grow, and take pics of the crop. Successes and failures, of course!

            Too wet for photos but I've got a couple of blueberries, a golden currant and a goji berry in them at the mo.

            I usually have a few toms in them as well. I've also got a couple with soapwort in that I meant to rehome somewhere, and possibly a few with spare black currants and a black berry.
