    It is so nice to see where everybody comes from around the World.

  3. Beautiful Joanne. Your baskets are so nice and full! Now I need to go back and look at your Clematis posts. I've been really busy and missed a couple - can't be doing that!!!

  6. I love your hanging baskets, they really are baskets! Do you plant them every year or do you buy them? I should find some pretty baskets like yours and just fill my own. I don't really like the ones I see in nurseries here and they are so expensive.
    I love your urns too. I think we like the same container flowers.

  8. Hi Thanks for all your comments. The perfume from the petunias is lovely sort of vanilla and especially good in the evening.

    The petunia are sufinia which I buy in as small plants as you can't grow from seed. They are the best for trailing and all being well they will be nearly 3 feet long by the end of the summer.

    I buy most of the plants in but some years do grow from seed. I don't think it works out much cheaper but I get to choose more what goes in. I have managed to do them inspite of my past health problems but Mike is in charge of watering them and every morning before 6 he gets the ladder out to do the ones on the lamp post. Of course we are not supposed to have them there but they are much admired by the neighbours and so far the council hasn't bothered us. By late summer they will trail well hopefully.
