Im very green thumb challanged so this step by step instructions is wonderful. I live in the desert where everything is BROWN UGH I really hate it so I was thinking of putting flowers in pots but the bizzilion rabbits & squirrels end up eatting them but hanging would be perfect! The picture of your pot hanging with the green grass in the background is heavenly. Thats where I want to live someday. Somewhere GREEN!

I also use the wire baskets with the linings and use Miracle Gro weekly and they do great! But I get a flat of small flowers and then plant them along with some green filler plants - they look a little straggly at first, but with the fertilizer they fill in really quickly - and they last into October, until the freeze comes! It's a little cheaper this way, but you do have to wait a little while for them to grow out. <br />BTW - I love your blog - it's a daily read for me!Karanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-36854963865946508662009-05-07T09:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:12:00.000-04:00love this post Kimba!
