My baskets are all hanging in the greenhouse waiting for the weather to warm up. I have put Lobelia, trailing Fuschias and trailing Petunias in them. I would post some pics but my camera is poorly.

Mine are in and up,I'm too impatient
I have all Sufinia Petunia's in the baskets again Hot Pinks and Purple's .After last years heavy bursts of sunshine and strong rain i said i wasn't going to have them this year cause they went to seed so early despite me deadheading twice a day but i do love them.I have Ten baskets altogether with the front and back so they should look lovely
I have some beautiful Pansies that someone gave me a tray of and they've filled 6 pots and i have a Three tiered basket stand that has self seeded from last year full of Viola's (well i think they're Viola's) in a range of Purple's Blue's,yellow's and white's.My Calundula's have self seeded as well
Last year's Two hardy Fushia's are in one big pot together now and are leafing up nicely (they were very late last year) so i'm expecting a nice display from them this time.Apart from the baskets i have only bought Two Hot Pink Celosa's which are very pretty,One Penstemon as i lost last years and planted various seeds from my Gardening magazines in a few pot's...Swan river daisy's,Nicotiana and something Dahlia like.
My Clematis look like they are going to have a better year this year and have massive buds all over particually the Nelly Moser and Countess de bouchard? around my front door,The Montana is currently flowering and i have a Dr Ruppell growing up and around my Blossom Tree with nice hefty buds on I'm looking for some evergreen ones to plant up and over the shed this Summer,Avalanche and Wisley Cream have caught my eye so far
My wisteria is looking glorius as usual but no Flowers again
The rest are all staples that i have year round, 3 Black Grasses,6 various Cordylines, 3 ferns,a Vibernum,a Yucca a small fir type tree and 4 of some type of evergreen (red berry in winter) type shrubs

Will get my camera out later and take some pics for you,i so love gardening its my little bit of therapy,am so looking forward to summer

That sounds superb a brilliant display and looking forward to the pictures. The pink and purple surfina's should look Good its a colour combination I am doing in the front....Also doing blue and white in the baskets at the back bit of a change.
