Hanging Baskets

A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with a very shear blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" and out she goes. The next day the teenager comes downstairs and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate.... The grandmother says. "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets." Happy Gardening!!! (sorry, I couldn't resist!!!)

What do Angel Tiger Eye Violas, Strawberry Super Parfait Dianthus, Strawberry Daddy Petunias, Giant White Bacopa and Wojo's Gem have in common? Yeppers - they were all united together in my hanging baskets! I decided that since I don't have lush lawn, lovely landscape, lilacs or lilies this year, I'm gonna hang some baskets between the pillars of my wrap-around porch... the flower kind of course! About a week ago, Jackson helped me plant and they unfortunately have yet to be hung! With the weather still dropping to freezing and frost warnings, they have been demoted to the garage on a few occasions... I was excited to have enough plants left over to fill three other pots as well!
