That's very kind of you. I thought about spiky plants, but it would make retrieving litter less fun. There's lots of herbacious perennials about to pop up, so the planter should be jammed with vegetation soon... 😀🌿🪴

Plonkers! Someone tried to uproot & snap wee silverbirch too. We're experienced in keeping it looking nice despite plonkers (you'll see wee tree has it's own support now). #Leithlife

#Istanbul! I'll be there for a holiday soon. Does any have any #accommodation #recommendations please? thank you :)

Good work! It's all over Leith too. Can you let me know who in @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social to contact for graf removal kit for Arthur Street planter please? thank you :)

I stopped eating Scottish salmon a few years ago, when I first read about their mistreatment in @theferret.scot.
