ideas please !!
« on: August 10, 2011, 13:26 »
I'm thinking ahead to planting up a half moon basket for the autumn/winter but I don't normally have much success with it what can I put in it? it doesn't get an awful lot of light so things tend to lean forward any ideas would be greatly appreciated   :D
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

thanks I like pansies but they do tend to go a bit straggly and the basket is north facing so when we get a bit of frost they get it its an awkward one maybe I will just take the basket down  :(

And some small early bulbs?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
