BAG AND BASKETS

Well, first of all, I thought I had accidently deleted my photos of the hanging baskets I have done so far, but somehow, they were on the camera this morning, so here they are



Each of these two contain:

1 Trailing fuchsia,
1 Ivy Geranium
1 Spellbound Bizzy Lizzie
2 Lobelias
1 Ivy
5 Double Deluxe Impatiens

I also mixed in two slow release Micacle Gro fertilizer pellets and water storage tablets, into the compost





The Patio Bag



The patio Bag is planted out with 1 Fuchsia Thalia and 10 Impatiens Double Deluxe. This is a handy container, as it can be moved around and used to fill in any small spaces.

I still have three more baskets to do, but am waiting for some more trailers to arrive. The Thalia is a very deep red flowered and leafed variety. I am thinking of using the third basket for trailing tomatoes, like Tom Thumb, or whatever else may be going on the market.

I have also sown some Poppies into a mini plug greenhouse and onto the kitchen window sill. The same with some cut and come again salad leave. I put some water storage crystals in the base.



Still no visitors to the nest box, but I don’t seem to be alone. My friend Karen has told me that her mother hasn’t had any residents in her boxes this year and she has several around her garden.

This Cotoneaster has suddenly come out in bloom and I have never seen so many floweres on it.



Clematis, Montana Marjorie, bought for 50p, last year off a charity stall on .the local market The flowers are about 2” across.
