Used to grow a couple indoors, in the bay window, but nothing out yet here. Still planning the plugs.

Re: Hanging baskets...


I've put out my Christmas cactus in its basket hanging from the Japanese maple. The Boston fern, spider plant & philodendron are still indoors; we had a run of low to mid 70's but has dropped to the very low 60's in the day & 40's at night...this will be for the rest of the week..so not yet. Did put the potted amaryllis & the cycad outside; they don't mind it a bit chilly. What's your weather like now?

Re: Hanging baskets...


I usually have them done but not out out yet but due to circumstances I haven't even considered them yet which is not like me at all. I hope to get my act together this weekend Have got the hanging basket compost and JohnInnes No2 to mix in for the tubs, but nothing else apart from the pots and basket themselves.

Youhave reminded me how behind I am this year but I will catch up.

Re: Hanging baskets...


I think I've misunderstood this: I was referring to plants IN hanging baskets that live there year round & that go outside in the Summer...sounds now to me as if you all are planting new things in baskets to go out this Summer...???
