Answer 11

Your spring hanging baskets should be done already your summer hanging baskets in may

Comments

@screwy put them out now and frosts will do them no good. The old saying is don't cast a cloud till May is out. The same applies to plants.

@fauver spring baskets you put out now frost will not hurt them

---

@screwy well I don't put mine until the end of May, and then they happily flower and stay fresh looking all Summer long until the beginning of Autumn.  

---

@fauver what do you put in your spring baskets

---

@screwy winter stuff is still in flower, looking a bit battered though this year I must admit with all the rain. But when they have completely finished flowering I will clean and steralised my baskets and then plant up for the Summer. That way it saves planting up twice plus less expense. But I must admit I have flowers for the majority of all four seasons

Answer 12

Mid April act in haste repent at leisure in other words buy twice lol do it most years I just cannot wait
