Sales barrow makeover

I need some ideas for a little sales table.
It’s for my plant and flower bunches and possibly some of Bob’s wood turning.
It must protect from sheep/deer/ wind & rain. Still be visible from the road for people driving past and look good  Huh .

What do you mean, that’s a tall order    Big Grin .

I know you can stick a stem in a jar of water - but I need more than a couple of plants and I don't have many stems left to take.

Has anyone taken cuttings from roots? How successful is it? I would like to make quite a few plants...

I'm back with more her questions Smile

I need more foliage for cut flowers...

I have been try to make lots of mint cuttings - I would like more but not got any beds dug yet so maybe that's a good thing, anyway I've been researching further and I believe this oregano may be good for cut flower bunches.

I really think some of the herb smells make a bunch....

So this oregano I'm going to try from seed - anyone else grow it from seed? Obviously I want it now :F so I'm going to try autumn sowing and keeping it in the greenhouse. 

Any others I should try? I really need more foliage/greens

Which ones do you grow and when do you sow them please? 
Now for the difficult question................ could you sow any cabbage now and eat it in spring as a looseleaved cabbage and leave some to heart up for summer? 
As you know, I don't have much success with brassicas but feel the need to try!

Because of the drought all the non-greasy washing up water is going on the veg plot at the moment. 
After a mega passata bottling session I was left with a bowl full of very red water containing loads of tomatoey bits, seeds and skin, but MrPP thinks I shouldn't be chucking it onto the tomatoes!
Not sure if he thinks they might go rogue or what  Big Grin
