Rooftop Garden

Although a bit windy at times the decked area inside the tank proves to have a mild climate in terms of temperature.   This year we had a good crop of potatoes and the occasional patio plants have flourished.   So, we have decided to really go-for-it and to make this an enjoyable roof garden.   Here are the makings:

Taking advantage of the roof room's floor to ceiling windows we are placing plants right alongside so that they are seen from indoors and will hide the view of the inside of the tank walls.


Sorry about the sideways picture but you can see the effect outside.   The plants are reflected in the windows, so doubling their impact.   Vertical 3mm stainless steel wire ropes fixed to the slender grey uprights provide almost invisible plant supports.
