            Well I planted them up and they are in the greenhouse. My other baskets are doing great so hope these put on growth quickly! Here's hoping :)

                  We been away for a week and took our baskets down for our friends to be able to water them easier. I've got to take some new photos.

                  Some of our baskets are not hanging up but are in pots as it's much easier to handle that way.

                  These are the pansies taken from our old, winter, baskets that were hanging on the wall and we added a few plants for the summer. They're 20" baskets so that they don't drop down into the pots. When the pansies eventually die down we'll add some other plants. A lot of begonias are waiting in the greenhouse

                  P1230975.JPG

                  These are this year's baskets that are just sitting in pots (16")

                  And these are 14" hanging up. They haven't been watered today so are a bit droopy. I didn't want to water them before hanging them otherwise I would find it too difficult to lift them up! :old:

                    Gone for Geraniums (left over from last year) in 2 baskets, a mixture of million bells and trailing pelargonium in the other, and nicotiana, pelargonium and dahlia in the window box:

                        still loloking worthy of their place in the baskets - not a sign of a spent head that needs deadheading,
                        well done,

                          That's after a week of us away. :noidea: :) We haven't done any deadheading yet. Maybe the person who was doing the watering for us did some deadheading. :scratch:
