Nothing much yet as the local shopkeeper insists I wait until after Mother's Day before he lets me use them.. Seriously some peopleI dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

I don't have MFB's, but if we're talking pots in general, mostly I have bulbs - miniature daffs, crocus, dog tooth violet, lilies...
But I do have 2 apples plus one that was a pruning which I shoved into the ground (literally) and which surprised me by growing so I carefully dug it up and lovingly planted it in a large pot. Three nectarines from stones, also a large pot of mint.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
Endless wonder.

Ooh yes - I forgot the elephant garlic bulbils. Wouldn't be my plot it it didn't have an allium in it.
And possibly a gooseberry plant

No MFBs here but I do have lots of buckets, so in the interests of not feeling left out I'm going to pretend they are MFBs
Currently:
11 buckets potatoes (Lady C, Charlotte, Desiree)
4 buckets of calabrese from last summer (still producing)
3 buckets brokali
2 buckets PSB
2 buckets spinach
2 buckets carrots
2 blueberries
1 gooseberry
1 blackcurrant
1 bucket corn salad
1 bucket spring cabbage
1 bucket parsnips
1 bucket beetroot
1 bucket chinese celery
3 empty at present
(+ several more at my friend's with potatoes and swede in).
Also loads of other pots, tubs and planters.
Here are some of them:
Spinach and potato Lady C
Giant winter spinach and gooseberry (under net). The green pots contain pak choi and namenia and the plastic covers are over pots of turnip and carrot.
Broccoli, spring cabbage and calabrese.
I would post a couple more but they are all too big to be uploaded for some reason (same camera etc as the others).A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

Nothing yet for this year... although my blueberries will be going in very soon (hopefully)
Lots of dregs from last year still to get rid of (its turned into one of those jobs that I'm really not looking forward to) - a few with perennials such as lavender and I think a couple of raspberries. There's also a few spring onions, carrots etc loitering which have been missed.
Until I have my garden sorted most things will be going in MFBs this year - they were perfect for my tomatoes last year

I picked a load up from outside Morrison's Garage some years ago for a few quid.
When I got them home I noticed there were a number of "packs" stacked together.
It was difficult to tell unless you un-stacked them.
