Morning everyone. I haven’t got any hanging baskets this year as I made the decision not to after the copious amounts of water I had to use last year, particularly during the heatwave. It feels strange not having them but my conscience feels better. Instead this is my #phlox-paniculata-sweet-summer-purple-white 💜

Now that you’re into vegetable growing, Jane, maybe you should try tomatoes in a hanging basket next year. They’re so easy and the little Tumbling Tom ones are great!!! 😋
