I add a top dressing of fine manure (the sort you buy in bags from the garden centre - not the kind you find fresh on the road) in the top of the pots and water well each day. This seems to help them to sprout from the base again. Once it has new regrowth bring it back into full sun.<br />I am sure whichever fabric you choose will look charming. Have a good day enjoy your swim.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-86732260399978454182018-07-08T07:42:02.133+01:002018-07-08T07:42:02.133+01:00It sounds as though you have a plan!
