    Not all of my garden is looking good at this time.
    But, the hanging baskets are beginning to look rather special, well I think so anyhow.

        Hi, Your baskets are looking lovely.:) Very profuse. By comparison, mine are looking very sparse. :love30:How long ago did you plant them up? I planted 2 of mine 2 weeks ago, and another 2, 1 week ago.

          I probably planted these up about two months ago and for the first few weeks I kept them in the conservatory to get them establised.
          They have been in and out to harden off and are now looking happy.
          I also have two on a East wall which have taken a bit of wind damage but are recovering.
          The two above are on the garage wall facing east.
          They get watered twice a day and fed once a week.
          I`m not sure at this time as it`s to early to say but I am using a new feed which I cant advertizing here.
          Time will tell if it worth the cost. At this time I do believe it is.
          It`s NPK is 12-12-36 with loads of added micro nutrients.

          These are my 14" wall mounted baskets on the East facing wall.
          Just beginning to look like hanging baskets.
