Hanging Baskets.

My baskets are nowhere near finished yet ,all my neighbours have taken theirs down ?

 

Its still gorgeous Pam, Most of my bedding plants are still flowering Beautifully...

 

It still looking good

Mine had started to go a little brown looking at the root end (after being away for a long weekend and not getting watered) .... so cut out the dead looking bits and then they looked a bit bare looking for my likening.

Plus a trip to the GC and brought all the winter bedding, so decided to take them all out and replace. Now should I ever plan ahead, I guess i could always buy more baskets and pot up all the winter baskets in those, leaving the summer ones still out until finished ..... although I think I will just end up with twice as many baskets then as I wont be able to help myself not filling them

 

Beautiful Pam.
My hanging basket at the front is still lovely with the geraniums in full flow

 

That is so pretty and colorful Pam, very nice.

 

I have just seen the pic of your basket Pamsdish, it looks lovely still. I think it helps to keep them well watered!
Here is mine from the fron of the house, I find geraniums are long lasting although the surfinia petunias are still going strong.

 

Thats beautiful Kath and no signs of going over, I water my baskets every day rain or shine and tomato feed twice weekly :gnthb:

 

Super basket, Jazmine. They look like 'Million Bells' in there. I love these flowers.
I don't know if any of you have seen the weather forecast, but the first frosts are due during the coming week. Unfortunately, this is likely to finish off most tender plants.

 

Yes they say October is going to be a chilly one,
I am from the Black Country and it always seemed to be the worst weather was in Derbyshire

 

There was a time when Derbyshire's weather was the worst I've ever known, especially the winters. Now, everything has changed. Even in the hills, we rarely see more than a week with snow on the ground, whereas ten years ago it would drift up to ten feet deep or more and cut the town off from the outside world altogether. It's still a wonderful place to live in...:hehe:

 

Thanks Pamsdish and Strawman. Some of the petunias are really going strong still-it will be a shame to see them finish.
I am not looking forward to the frosts and cold weather...I am a fairweather gardener :wink:

 

I think that it's sad that summertime is over so quickly. I had thought to plant more for flowering during the winter months too, but who cares to sit out in the cold just to try and get some enjoyment out of them. My bones simply won't take that kind of punishment.
Well, I put my two baskets out today, but not either side of the front door, oh no. I've put them out back where they can enjoy the sun and grow a little quicker in readiness for the front of the house. Only then will my friends on GC get to see them. I don't handle failure too well, so I'd rather wait...cluck!...cluck!...cluck!:hehe:

 

Thats what I plan to do Strawman in the next few days Im going to plant my winter hanging baskets

but I wont take my summer ones down untill they are well and truely gone.

I have real trouble seeing something off untill its dead.
Call me a softy,

I dont care.:p 02
