The coronavirus pandemic may be having an unprecedented impact on our lives, but it doesn’t mean you can’t find ways to have fun. If you’re lucky enough to live on a farm, then you’ll still be able to enjoy spending time outdoors.

Forget generic looking, shop-bought plant pots, if you have access to a farm yard, there is a plethora of thing and implements you can use to plant thing in.
