Tubs and baskets?

Anyone else started or completed even their baskets and tubs I have now managed to do the front ones they have busy lizzies in there tis year they did so well last year.
The back garden one cone shaped basket various plants in and the two wall baskets have busy lizzies too the big wall basket under the licing room window I have planted with carnations - perrenial ones in the hope of the scent coming through the lounge window underplanted with busy Lizzies
Now sure what to put in my other two wall baskets may go out tomorrow and get geraniums I do like them.

They sound wonderful, not even thought about myne yet, but have you tried the hanging/trailing petunia, I don't like the border petunia, but love the hanging/trailing one.

Probably getting plants for mine this weekend Karen. Can't wait - it makes the garden so pretty

Im lucky my mum loves to garden she has real green fingers , dad says sher can even get dead things to grow hahahaha , me no chance cant tell the difference in weeds or new shoots . so i give mum the money and she sorts what plants are best for where and we plant them together , and tend to them together otherwise i would have a garden of nicely tended weeds but your sounds lovely karen

You sound like me when I was younger, my Mom was an avid gardener now she can't do as much with her age and arthritis etc but I would say why spend the time just concrete it. Now I was abhore that suggestion to me. It does creep up on you this gardening thing. So be warned.

Most of the planters here are perenials so I don't have to worry much about plants.

I have got some baskets and panters with Impatiens, trailing Lobelia and petunia's in. Some of them are just starting to flower

I hope we get to see some pics of the end result Kazz

I'm a bit skint this year, so I've been growing sweetpeas from seed to do the hanging baskets. They're looking pretty good so far - reckon I might pllant them up properly next weekend

Oooh, but i did splash out on some oriental lily bulbs to brighten up the patio

Can you tell that I like stinky flowers?

Got most of the pots done, had to be careful though as can still get frosts here, north, nothing fancy though just the usual ones and hope they do well as I love to see colour in our back, its mostly slabs so dull and need colour. x
