I used to do my own with fuchsias and petunias but in recent years I bought them ready done from the garden centre. I'm afraid the cost has risen so much that I really must go back to planting up my own. I love to see houses in Italy covered in geraniums. I might go that way this year.

I always opt for trailing Pelargoniums, as they don’t require so much watering and survive if we’re away for a few days.
So not much help, sorry.

If you like to hang up a basket or two do you find yourself doing the same colours/plants each year or do you shake things up a bit?
I have north facing red brick where my baskets will hang so usually plant up with begonia' Illumination' or sometimes buy a couple of mixed fushias and fillers from the 2 lovely guys at their little garden center, so much choice!
This is the time of the year when I so long for a green house that I could pop!
