These pics are sideways - oh well. This blog could stand to improve it's image adding options but that's a whole separate issue . . .I wanted hanging baskets for our porch but we can't figure out how to hang them from the aluminum. Sue suggested shepherd's hooks so we we going to put them in the ground. I thought they would still hang where I wanted them to be but they are not as tall as I envisioned and our (dying) shrubs in the front of the house were getting in the way. So they are now in front of our front steps.
Plans have been discussed to build some boxes that the hooks could be put into on the porch so that the hanging baskets still end up where I want them. We'll see if Sam can construct what I'm envisioning . . . it's hard to say if he thinks it's a good idea or not . . .
Sam didn't EXACTLY know I was planting perennials yesterday. I might have snuck them into the ground. He didn't notice the hanging baskets until quite a bit later so it was hard to get an opinion - - - mostly just saw shock.
In the meantime I was happy with my choice of the lighter petunia basket and I paired it with one in a deeper purple on the other side. We looked at a lot of hanging baskets and I'm happy with what I chose.
Apparently these will also go on the list of things that need to be watered every day AND I have to buy some miracle grow to put in the watering can once a week. I remember some talk about deadheading or not deadheading too . . . Sue will provide a refresher on the expectations there I hope.
