I'm just curious what you are growing in your containers this year. I'm looking for some ideas (and possibly a few cuttings) of stuff to grow this year.

I used to grow a LOT of fuchsia baskets, this year give or take only a dozen or so, some scented begonias and a few ferns just about does it for me.

I'm going to try Morning Glory in a hanging basket. I have the seeds started and they have sprouted so I guess I'm committed, ready or not. . . I swore last year a MG seed would never ever be seen on this property again. . . I'll try them in pots one time. . . may be the last. . .

One of my best performers has been Nemesia.

Pentas and lantana grow well together in large pots, with some kind of red grass in the middle.
