These are they pots DH cut out for me. Not very pretty now but I'm hoping they will be soon. They were fun to make and plant.
See my post "Have you seen these"

We didn't put as many holes just experimenting.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. i am newer to this board and newer to gardening, so you will be hearing from me on here. I have been o the decorating board for forever.

Anyhow love your pots...

Nice, Silly Bird!! I made some similar ones last year, using wire baskets with spaghnum (sp?) moss. I used begonias, and they did fill out nicely, but not as full as I wanted. This year, I'm using impatiens.

Yours should be better in that they'll probably hold water better, don't you think? Can't wait to see yours when they fill out!

Looks like it's going to be beautiful! I used Bloom Booster last year for the first time on my flowering plants a couple of months before a wedding...they went crazy!

Those will look so great once they start to grow.Looking forward to pictures of them in their full glory.

where did you find that larger sized plastic hanging pots?

Forgot to welcome Homebody! One of the rules of this board is you have to post lots of pics! Just kidding, but take it from me, if you're new to gardening, these folks here will fix ya right up!! You'll be an expert in no time!!

There are a few companies, but I used Miracle Grow Bloom Booster. It's 15-30-15. Any product higher in Phosphorus. I mixed it half and half with regular Miracle Grow in 5 gallon buckets to water all my pots.

zone9alady thanks for the info. I used to buy Peters bloom booster but forgot about it till you mentioned. I'll have to buy some.

Silly bird - are those just regular petunias or waves, etc? What ja plant on the top of the pots besides the blue lobelia (?)
