Hanging Baskets..

Wow that looks great, hope my attempt is half as good

 

As Roders will no doubt testify, there are two main rules with baskets, never allow to dry out and feed at least once a week with a high potash (flowering)feed. Some folk give a weak feed every watering. Dead heading the flowers will also help particularly with trailng petunias.

 

well I doubt mine will be anything as spectacular as that but I've done 4 now, I'm getting better every year! How can I post a picture of my greenhouse (well 3 tier thingy with zips!!) if I take one and save into the PC? Also could anyone tell me how to look at other pictures on this site please ?

 

I have just recieved 5 plants from gardening direct of million bells.
I would like to plant them in a hanging basket .
Would you recommend to plant all 5 in one basket?

 

Thanks for that promp reply Marley Farley I will take your advice and go and get them planted as they have had their 24hrs rest.
The sun has actually come out this morning so I am off to cut the lawn before we see yet more rain.

 

Here's mine today. I'm quite pleased because the only thing not grown by me are the trailing lofos, bought as plug plants from T&M and just beginning to flower.





Petunias, lobelia and bizzylizzy from seed, and ivy, creeping jenny, and fuschia from cuttings.

 

those are smashing Liz. i never have much luck with hanging baskets.theyre fine for a bit then everything just droops :(

 

They look nice Liz, mine are filling out now but obviously I grew mine at work. If I had to grow my own at home in a domestic greenhouse they would probably be a disaster. :D

 

very nice liz, i have two suspended from my balcony had to tie them at each side as i didnt like the way they kept swinging around being on the third floor, never forgive myself if they broke loose and clonked someone on the head below.

 

Remember these hanging baskets........
Posted 8th April......................
