Anyone trying anything new


Is anyone trying anything new in their hanging baskets/tubs this year?

Re: Anyone trying anything new


Look forward to it CJ!!!

I won't be having hanging baskets this year With our hosepipe ban and my ever increasing baby-belly I won't be able to lift a watering can for much longer, certainly not above waist height, and I don't want to waste money on a basket that'll just wither.

As different is I ever get is in the colour schemes. My fave was about 3 years ago (the HOT summer), where I had about 5 white-flower-only baskets. I couldn't tell you now what was in them, but they looked gorgeous against red brick!

They are lovely, got any pictures of after they took off! This will be the first time for years I have had hanging baskets, always too windy where we lived before...
