Just Gardening The weather has been very poor this year. The day after a hose pipe ban was introduced it seemed to start raining and doesn't appear to have stopped since. Along with the wet period we've had some low night time temperatures. Young tender plants could have suffered as a result. However, there is a good supply of bedding plants available in the Garden Nurseries for your borders. Try planting out hanging baskets, fill them with plenty of plants and locate them in strategic places throughout the garden. A colourful flowering basket hanging from an apple tree or other structure will draw your eye to another level in the garden and give interest. One or two tips to be considered: firstly, don't put the baskets in a position where you can walk into them and bang your head when thinking about other matters relating to your garden, secondly, position them for easy access and allow for watering. I use a fine rose on my watering can. Hanging baskets will need watering every day and twice a day in the hot weather, if it ever arrives. I water my hanging baskets early morning and late evening. Any other time the water tends to run off and evaporate not doing any good for the plants. Also there is a chance of scorching the leaves. Once the hanging baskets become established they will need a good feeding. There are limited nutrients available for the plants, in the basket planting medium, so we have to provide it. Try a variety of Pelargonium, or Fuchsia in the centre of the basket. Then plant multi-coloured Verbena around the centre plant and hanging over the edge of the basket plant trailing dark blue Lobelia and white alyssum. You can also plant through the moss lining of the basket, ensuring the plant roots are in the basket soil and this will give you a complete covering of flower and colour. Don't let your baskets dry out and don't forget to feed them. If these simple rules are followed you will be amazed with the success you will have and your hanging baskets will be a talking point. Happy Gardening. - 42 -
