hanging basket advice
« on: February 28, 2010, 13:58 »
Hello all,
I'm branching out from my usual vegetable growing this year and have bought some flower seeds and plants.
I have bought some baby plug plants, lobelia and others that I intend to use in hanging baskets. I'm not quite sure what to do with them now as it's too cold to put them outside, planted up. Should I leave them in their tiny plugs or plant them up into bigger pots until it's time for them to go in the basket? Do you think they will be OK outside under the plastic of my mini greenhouse or is it best to keep them indoors for a few weeks?

Many thanks!

Plant up your baskets now, put them in the greenhouse and cover the green house in bubble wrap. Failing that, pot the plugs up and put them somewhere frost free. When I worked in a garden centre I would plant the baskets up from mid February and grow them in the frost free greenhouse.
