MY HOBBY Fuchsias and container Gardening.

Here are a few photo's of some of the things we planted up today.We usually do about 6-7 long planters, three short planters, 5-7 hanging baskets, 2 wall planters and 4-5 round pedestal planters, not all of these are for us we also do some for family and friends,this is why we plant so many seeds and cuttings.I will post photo's of these in about 6 weeks to show progress. Abe Lincoln of oldmanlincoln.com reminded me to mention that any plants whether in pots/baskets or even in the ground benefit from a few slow release pellets especially if they are going to be in situ for any length of time, Miracle Grow is probably the best known of these and can keep slowly feeding right through the season.



These are two supermarket polythene bag containers we found a few years ago when a shop was refurbished (I wish now we had picked up the rest) I drilled six large holes with a special type of drill I had for fitting wing mirrors on cars (years ago) and when the busy Lizzie's grow and fill out they look great. It takes about 20 plants to fill each one, I will also take photo's of them in a few weeks.

It's looking great! We have finally had some warm weather here in S Ontario, so I can now start tidying up the garden after the long winter. Who waters your plants when you are away in Berrynarbor?
