Baskets and Containers.

Please feel free to edit/move this if necessary.

As so many of us have hanging baskets and containers of all types I wondered if we could post our pics here to show what's looking good [or not maybe!] I would love to see others pics. I have a lot of baskets and pots planted up so had better get busy with the camera!

 

heres one of my hanging baskets on my balcony

 

Thats an unusual basket Rosa. It looks like pinecones?
I will take some pics tomorrow of how my baskets look now and how they progress. I am away a few days, they won't get watered so hope they will be ok!!

 

all still fairly young

 

jazmine it is pinecones i bought 2 from wilkinsons about 2 years ago and ive never seen them again. will take some more tommorow of others.
cumberland your flower pots look lovely well done

 

this hanging basket i took today in my friends garden

 

heres my baskets hanging on my balcony took this from downstairs

 

heres my other hanging basket

 

Some lovely looking photos already, so early in the season!!

Rosa - I would imagine you can plant yours up a lot earlier than most being on a balcony so more sheltered from the frost etc ?

Rather than repost all mine again I will paste the link to mine I posted yesterday (for those who havent seen) :-

Keep posting, its so nice to see everyone elses style etc ..... might give me some ideas for next year

 

Some beautiful pics coming in. I'm like you Sam, I love to see what others are doing with their gardens

Here is my trailing sweetpea basket - the bird is there to keep the pigeons away!



Here are some pretty petunias



Here are the wall troughs with geraniums [still small] and petunias either side of a flourishing climbing hydrangea about to flower.

 

some lovely flowers already
what a difference we will all see in a few weeks time when they start maturing (hopefully)

 

Here are a few of my pots, a bit untidy and overcrowded to be honest, but we are beginners at container growing:

 

went to my friends today and took these pics of her lovely baskets and flowers
