Time for new hanging baskets ....


Our hanging baskets at home have been functional rather than pretty & have served us well for around 10 years; their contents change to reflect the seasons & so it might have carried on except for a trip to a reclamation yard while visiting friends.


My heart skipped a beat when we arrived - wonderful treasures & an eclectic mix of things ....


 I always love the way teracotta pots weather & age ...


 Oh yes .... love at first sight but ... only one & I like pairs ...


Heaven - a pair of  reproduction victorian cast iron planters - SOLD


My friends son obliging by getting them to the car ...


Time for new coir liners & potting soil ...


The plants moved across from the old planters

 I just love the detail on them


Just about potted up - time to soak them for a while and protect their contents from my two house bunnies... seen sneaking up on the planters.


Fred & Vivaldi being distracted from eating the contents of the baskets


Planted & put up in the front of the house by the porch


I rather like them - a pair of lovely hanging baskets - perfectly at home with  a pair-of-holly-trees which have long outgrown their indoor pots.

I absolutely love the new hanging baskets - what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by, till next time,
