Popped into 'Home Bargains' today and saw that they are selling some willow vegetable planters, ideal for making raised beds and decorative too .... and only £5.99.
I'm pretty sure it's identical to this one

    Look ok for salad type stuff like lettuce, or for annual herbs such as basil, and parsley.
    Strawberries would probably do ok as well.
