Excellent news. Order form has been completed & will be in the post tomorrow. Such a shame not to be able to order from Philip now but relieved that Manchester has taken on his mantle.

The BEF round terracotta pots look as if they might be the shallow type rather than normal depth for the width? Can you confirm depth for 3.5 inch please, they look ideal for Conos. Thanks

They are 3 inches or 8cm tall.

As a rough guide most of the B.E.F. pots are slightly shorter than their width.

I am working on a pot guide which is under construction on our website. Many dimensions already there.

There is a box in the storage unit. Don't know how much they are - I'll have to ask Peter.
