[Kazz]

Come on then this is the Summer2010 hanging basket/pot/window box etc...thread to submit your plans, and then pictures....so what are we going for where....I will be a bit behind due to circumstances but will be with you.;)

I am thinking about Summer pots .............. not doing hanging baskets this year. Was thinking about mangers, but, maybe, bit late perhaps.

I have fuchsias and brachycomes and lavender. Think I said somewhere else that I need to think about height, not sure what yet though. I can feel a nursery visit coming on!

[Kazz]

Not too late at all Angie........you have a good amount of time....and later flowering too....

I'm off down to Aldi on monday to pick up some of their mixed plants, bunging them in the hanging baskets, and sitting back to see what happens :lol:

Everything is behind this year, what with the weather and my arm being out of use for a while. However, I've managed to get one of my hanging baskets done this afternoon, didn't plan what went into it, I just chose something from the plants I already have ....... so there are fuchsia, upright geranium, trailing geranium, busy lizzies, petunias, brachycombe, bacopa, trailing lobelia ..... and another trailer I don't recall the name of atm!

Good thread Kazz - it's lovely to see other members displays:)

[Kazz]

Looking forward to them to Mags

I'm not doing baskets this year. Will be concentrating on some annuals in the tubs. Still far too cold up here to be buying. Will wait a week or so and hope it warms up a bit.

I don't do baskets: front faces North and too shady for flowering annuals; back yard really no place to hang them. But I always love seeing your displays, look forward to them.

Spent £43 at the garden centre today. Bought some petunias, bizzy lizzies, nicotiana, a couple of clematis and a few other bits and bobs. Hope to plant baskets and tubs in the next few days.

Ahh I can't wait for the pics Kim, one of my favs are bizzy lizzies, and I like petunias and surfinias for baskets....
But you have wetted my taste for the luxury of garden centre visits which will soon be mine...mine...MINE...........:-D

Don't you love those New Guinea Impatiens? Such lovely colours - I love the coral coloured one. Must get some of those!

[dandysmom]

You know, I much prefer the regular impatiens to the New Guinea ones. I've been waiting for the hardware store to get them in but so far all they have are the New Guinea ones.
