My hanging basket plan worked out quite well for the 2010 gardening season. I started with 2 scented geraniums and used cuttings to get 3 more plants in spare baskets. I used various petunias trying to get some reddish flowers in one basket, pink ones in another, and some purple and orange flowers in another. Each basket had either a plug or a cutting from the sweet potato vine, as well.
I gave each of the baskets a good dose of Miracle Grow for the last time and I had a pretty good bloom for the beginning of October in our zone 4 area! These are somewhat protected by the patio roof and we haven't had a frost yet. My plan is to see how long I can make them last!

love your hanging baskets!!! I love these kinds of baskets with the wire frame and mossy liner. We had a couple on the gates into our backyard, which were so charming. I always wish I had done more, so I'm loving yours!
Your baskets do look nice, but not as nice as your header. It is one of the most beautiful I have seen.
great baskets. Mine have just about gone over now so I'll be spending the next week or so emptying them.
