hanging baskets

Most of the flowers used are annuals and won't flower again. Besides which, you always get a better display with fresh new plants.
Similarly, I'd compost the basket's contents and use fresh compost/moss etc next year, as what you have used will be exhausted of nutrients and will be degraded.

Thanks Betiefox, I did think that would be the response
I was trying to be tight, but I suppose I can tighten the purse strings somewhere else

hehe

I'm sure you can 'squeeze' some garden funds from somewhere else Mookins. Don't forget you're a woman of independant means now! lol

hehehe

thats right, was just trying to be thrifty...something Im not very good at

if only hubby would stop smoking my garden would be like a jungle hehehe

x x

How about growing 'tobacco' plants then lol

dont say that we had a barney last night over smoking

he would grow them too just to make a point

hehehe

at least it would get him in the garden

but do I want him messing with my haven!!!

x x x

Definitely not Mookins, don't let him have any say in the garden then you can have it exactly how YOU want it! :o)
You could allow him out there if you want some heavy work done though . lol

bless him
i shout him when ive purchased large bags of compost and grit hehe
and he put my greenhouse up for me

other than that as you say he can watch from afar
