Phil's Hanging Baskets

These are our hanging baskets.

They are not shop bought, I do them myself.

I buy a variety bedding plants (garden centres, Lidl , Aldi , Homebase etc.) and arrange them in the baskets at the end of May (first weekend in June this year, I was late, due to our holiday).

I give them lots of TLC, feed them regularly and dead head the flowers when required.

They usually last until the end of Augst when they start to look a bit tired and leggy.

I hope they bring joy to those who live on the street or visit our street. Well if not joy, perhaps an admiring glance.

Maybe an admiring glance from the 365 community too.

A very big admiring glance Phil. Baskets are hard work, watering often, feeding etc plus wind can be a problem but if you have the energy they look beautiful….yours do! I have given up with the hanging baskets now….ground level for me now!
