More Hanging Baskets
I liked the hanging flowers in the back so much that I talked D into helping me hang baskets in the front. Actually, he did all the work, but I supervised. Now I just have to figure out a more efficient way to water them. I had to bring down a step stool that really isn't tall enough. Maybe I'll buy one of those folding step stools. By the way, they hooks are hung evenly, it's just that the purple basket is slightly different from the white so it looks slightly lower. I wouldhave gotten two purples (my favorite color of outdoor flower), but D thought we needed to get something other than purple flowers. I like the variety.

Your baskets look fabulous (front & back)! A water wand attachment for your garden hose might help watering (here's one on Amazon.com if you don't know what one looks like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009NES7E/qid=1153710676/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-7556552-3680648?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=228013)
ReplyDeleteThanks - I bought a wand the other day for the back plants. It works OK (though, ironically, I'm still not quite tall enough to reach those). The problem with the front baskets is that the water faucet is no where near my plants, so I am debating between what is more hassle: dragging the hose all the way around to the front of the house (from the side) OR getting a step ladder and using a watering can. I'm leaning towards a step ladder at the moment.
ReplyDeletei think the one hanging white basket seems to be a rebel. like, "hey, i'm a non-conformist plant. i can hang where i want, with whomever i want, so whaddaya gonna do 'bout it?"
