July 27, 2018A.What type of sunlight does your area have. Full sun, partial sun?
I am unable to determine the depth of your planters. A minimum of 6 inches would be needed for annuals. Shrubs would need a much greater depth of soil, depending on the variety.
Visit your local garden centers for regional plantings.

August 13, 2018Q.Planting
Hello. I need to know what to plant in a corner of our garden which is in shade for the majority of the day. However, from spring to summer the corner gets strong direct sunlight from late afternoon and so shade loving plants tend not to work in this spot. It is also under a few large trees so generally has poor soil as these tend to get all he nutrients from the ground Any help would be great Thanks. Tom

August 19, 2018A.Old ceramic glazes often contained lead so I wouldn't use your pots for edibles. You might grow them in a plastic pot that is inserted into the ceramic pot. (cachepot) All pots, except cachepots, need drainage holes. Holes in the bottom prevent root rot and allow oxygen into the soil. Water coming out the bottom also tells you that you've given your plant enough water. (Don't water like this for desert plants!) You don't say how large the pots are so telling you what you may grow is complete guesswork. Info on glazes and old crockery is here: http://www.environment.gov.au/protection/chemicals-management/lead/lead-in-ceramic-crockery-pottery-making
