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!

Kazz those pictures are really nice. I always over water or under water baskets so am hopeless with them.

I've got a 'yellow mixture' I bought as plugs from Wilkinson :roll: , which are coming on nicely in the polytunnel. Couldn't tell you the names of the plants though! Pics later if it turns out well.

I've got the usual classic red geranium/pelargonium coming along - love them, tres Francais!
