Made up wall baskets


Well made up the wall baskets today....with moss, red geraniums, ivy, and purple trailing petunia's. Keeping to set colours in the baskets this year, and I adore red geraniums look, well I love the French towns with them hanging in baskets tubs, window boxes. Can'tgo wrong I don't think.. will get some pictures if anyone is interested?

Moli I look to you for idea's not vice versa, just simple this year I think.

But have got my plants for the two 16" hanging baskets, I will keep that under wraps until its planted up.

Oh yes in the wall troughts and in the baskets when I do them I put 4" or 6" plastic plant pots in empty to water into so the water goes to the bottom of the trough so I water into the pot, and I have lined the troughs with old wolly jumpers to hold the water better I hope

I love looking at your garden pics Kazz!

I put a plastic saucer in the base of my baskets to help hold the water......also have a hollow plastic tube pushed into them where I fill with water......
