[These are two of the Summer Baskets - Zonal Pelargoniums and Penisteum Grasses. One of Lady Gardeners in the Village where we live, photographed them, and is using the pic as Wallpaper on her Computer Screen, happy bunny lol 
T also add, these baskets are mounted on Baskets posts, round timber posts driven into the ground by my OH and then the brackets attached, and baskets overhang one of the flower beds...Attachments:

Hi Femme, Hi Sun,
Femme you will know them if you stick around here... ;D
The second two Clems Sun are the two I've paired together in an Obelisk, they will compliment each other as they mature... |

![]() housetohome.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/96|00000f101|5531_HOME-GROW-FOR-SUMMER-SALADS.jpg [/img] Something a little different, but very important...Our Veg, + Herbs
Growing veg and herbs in Containers is better with a lot of veg than growing in the ground...and the scents and colours are good too...Plant around your eating areas for added colour...you could also add Strawberries, and pick your own desert...
Almost any old container will do, use your imagination...[/i][/size][/color] |

Hi Femme, you betcha, the pic is not mine, but a good illustration of what can be grown in pots and planters...the only other things in that group that I have grown in pots are Carrots and Garlic not shown...In the real world you don't always have the room to grow in one spot, but pots of nice smelling usable herbs, cherry tomato, peppers,etc placed around, all adds..
How are you, it's quite cold here the last couple of days, what's it like in your neck of the woods...

I had no clue, thought they all pretty much taste the same though. Red is my fave color so I will go with red. I know they are also more expensive at the grocery. |
