    Scotkat, Mr Livingstone is coming on lovely, I still have to get my plants (gonna try another nursery today). Can I ask what size basket you used and how many plants? I have got 30cm baskets so I was going to get about 20 plants??

    My basket was 12" wired together but real heavy be better done on smaller baskets.I did not count how many just filled every space ,think around 80plants or more.

    You can grow your seeds for next year or use busy lizzies or alpine plants or winter pansy.
