Hanging baskets

I'm itching to do mine, but I will wait until the end of may. I don't have a greenhouse so I don't want frost to hit.

 

Me too. Got 6 fuchsia marinka and 6 trailing geraniums to go into 2 12" inch baskets.
Hopefully get some more @ the weekend

 

FC I used to do my mother-in-law's half baskets - put them back-to-back standing on a large pot - and tied them together with tying wire - had to be more careful with them though - father-in-law collected and still tied, they went into the back of his car with no problems.

Did three today. more pots to do tomorrow.

 

I have two baskets finished and in the GH , but no more room in there ! I am starting to harden off my plants ( the most boring job in gardening ! ) , so hopefully late next week they can all come out onto a sheltered patio . I can then start planting up , a little late.
I have nearly finished filling baskets and containers with sieved MPC , slow release fertiliser and water gel ( does that stuff actually do anything ? ) , so thats one chore out of the way

 

did two huge pots with canna lilies and toped off the soil with some seed from last year of
"my love lies bleeding" and forget me knots. If the seeds are good so be it. will be interesting.

 

Thanks Shiney. Both packs of seeds are a year old, so we shall see. Years ago I started "my love lies bleeding" and used them somewhere, they die off naturally with the first frost in October.
It is a rare for me to start seeds anymore, just to busy, so this is the only effort I will probably make. My gardener friend, Jane gave me a bunch of Canada Lily seeds, she said "oh, just throw them in your garden". But as these are rare to find, I am going to have to deal with pots to start them. She also gave me tons of Chelome seeds, (spelling) the tall plants with purple/white spidery flower, those I just tossed in my heath and heather slope after I cleaned it out this weekend. And last night, we had a soft rain, so my pots are happy and all the new seeds.
