They are colorful, versatile, delicious and a fun way to share your garden with you friends and neighbors. Regular watering is essential to growing plants in a hanging basket.
The first few months are critical for a plant's survival. Especially on those gray days in winter it is happy to see the bright cheerful bloom of a flower, reminding that while its gray outside, color and the beauty of the green of nature is close at hand.
Strangely enough, human hair trimmings are another deterrent. These flowers generally produce the maximum bang for your dollar. Starting from a seed is less expensive, but takes longer and is more labor extensive.
Hardwood pruning is typically the last technique used to save a plant and is the most severe from of pruning. Most plants do not come back from water stress well; so do not allow your plants to wilt! Thoroughly water your plants, keep watering till you see water draining out of the bottom of the basket. If you are going to use individual pots for your plants instead of buying, them look around your home for any type of item you can use as a pot that you no longer utilize.
Now get gardening. Before spring get's here, get things preped and ready to go.
