Sometimes if I'm feeling brave, I will give them a "haircut" end of July and then fertilize for a few weeks and they grow back nicely. Just takes awhile.<br />Am going to post Containers Part 2 in a minute because I finished my front urns.Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208261869410640449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560498250041584368.post-45078583999557029532012-05-23T11:24:48.792-07:002012-05-23T11:24:48.792-07:00Astrid, that is a cute little saying and it makes ...Astrid, that is a cute little saying and it makes it easy not to overlook one of the three basic components of a great container planting. My main problem with the store-bought stuff is not the cost, but rather the fact that they just don't hold up through the summer! You buy them at their peak and it is all downhill from there. Your containers look to be off to a nice start.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560498250041584368.post-25537058153214120672012-05-21T05:31:20.838-07:002012-05-21T05:31:20.838-07:00Hi Deb

We do love going out for a quiet sit after dinner - as my husband says: "You can't do this in February!!"<br /><br />Hi Nadezda<br />Glad you enjoyed the hanging baskets. Hope you can find something similar in your area. Happy gardening!<br /><br />AstridAstridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208261869410640449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560498250041584368.post-34144821658240324122012-05-21T01:27:00.881-07:002012-05-21T01:27:00.881-07:00Astrid, I have no the moss baskets but I think the...Astrid, I have no the moss baskets but I think they look lovely in your garden.
