The leaves do look like geranium, but it was sort of splayed out a bit too much, but if it's droopy from being transplanted that would explain it! Give it a good drink of water and it should perk up!

I think it's a geranium too.
If the baskets get a lot of sun I'd say go for bright red trailing geraniums for them too - cheerful, very French looking and very forgiving! Take off the flower stalks after flowering and they will keep giving you a display for months!

oh they will get loads of sun DM! I am blessed with a wonderful sun trap of a garden lol! I will pop too the garden centre over the weekend and have a look. I've also been advised to get some trailing begonias too, but no idea what they are like at all!

Alex, I will take a picture of my garden tomorrow and the side I dug up last year, I put gravel on it latter part of last year. And it does make life easier reduces weeding etc and keeping the water in ie reduces evaportation from the soil not a bad thought it we have another hot summer as predicted?

I have dug some plants out for you, are you in on Tuesday? or next weekend? I can pop them over for you or meet you half way which ever is easier for you? I think you must be about 50/60 minutes or so from me...I would say?

Oh for your baskets pots nothing nicerthan geraniums bright red lovely a proper French feel and makes you think its hotter than it actually is?

Must say for tubs Bizzy Lizzies have to go a long way to be beaten... just dead head regularly. Both very easy to keep in tubs? pots? they let you forget to water occasionaly and will not frop dead at a nod.

I am in tuesday Kazz, but I wouldn't be able to meet you half way as I'm having to be very careful with my mileage just now as it's a mobility car and I'm only 100 miles off of my limit and it doesn't go back for another 5 weeks. For every mile I go over it's 5p!!!!! If you can make it over to mine I can offer you a nice cuppa lol, and of course a pet of a certain flat faced young lady!!!

I will do my best for Tuesday, its my only day off so may have to cry off, but will do my very best maybe - Monday evening as the nights are lighter. I will let you know nearer if thats okay but if you have things to do then say so...I have no probs.
I'll do you a list tomorrow of what I have for you,

This is my mixed basket from last year. A mixture of everything,

Karen

Now I;ve posted that I've realised it looks horrible. Sorry I;ll remove it in a minute.

Oh I was looking in the shed and find I have an assortment of hanging baskets etc are you interested? Nothing grand mind you.

alexgirl73 · 20-04-2007, 08:44 PM

OMG!!!!!! Kazz that is stunning!!! If mine end up loking anywhere along those lines I'll be dancing round my walking stick lol! If you have to cry off not a prob, I'm in most of the time anyway (Billy no mates here lol), so whenever is best for you xx

alexgirl73 · 20-04-2007, 08:45 PM

alexgirl73 · 20-04-2007, 08:45 PM
