Ideas for pots & hanging baskets
Pots and hanging baskets make gardening creative even in tiny spaces. Boost your space with instant interest. Pots can be moved around to your heart's content and hanging baskets add height. Also you can create environments not naturally provided by your space, eg for plants for acid soil. Many smaller plants are suitable for pots and hanging baskets and larger ones can be pruned to keep them small. Tip: When combining plants in pots or hanging baskets, choose varieties that share the same needs for moisture. Pots and hanging baskets need regular watering in dry weather so you'll also get to know your plants by visiting them on a daily basis when it's hot. Or install an automated irrigation system to water when you can't attend to them.
