Hanging basket garden

[ChanellG]

Claudine, here is a tutorial on how to make a simple basket from a paper bag. These would be great around the kitchen for storage and you can experiment with making baskets from other materials as well.

I read your posts and even though I understand it might be annoying to have such wild visitors in your gardens, I still think it must be interesting. In my garden I have only cats (my dog hates them ). Good thing is they don't steal anything but they're also very boring

ChanellG, this basket is so cute, thank you!

 

[ChanellG]

You're welcome, Claudine. Be glad the cats are boring; things could be a lot worse -- they could be using your garden as a litter box! That has happened to me before and it is not pleasant!

They have never bothered the ones that I grow in my garden beds. But who knows maybe they will like whatever I have growing on the arbor.

This sounds awful I hope they stopped doing it?
Cats wouldn't dare to do this in my garden, I have a cute Yorkshire Terrier who probably dreams about becoming a cat killer

 

[ChanellG]

Yes, thankfully! The problem was that someone started feeding a stray and before long there were over 13 cats hanging around! That person is longer around and the cat population has dwindled, but not long ago I used to find kittens napping in my flower pots.

Kittens in flower pots? It's adorable . My friend once gave some food to a female cat who visited her garden...in a few months she had three little kittens and four more the next year...now my friend doesn't have any flowers, just little kittens who destroy flowers for fun

Not so cute after all! Kittens are cute in photos, lol.

I love to have a hanging garden. I was watching some video today and thinking I really need one. I am waiting for my fixtures to arrive and in spring I will have my own little hanging baskets.

I love hanging gardens too. I once grew an ivy in a hanging flowerpot, it looked very pretty and it was quite big. Hanging flowerpots are great idea when you don't have enough space for new plants on your windowsill

Ladies, look what I just found in Grow Food Not Lawns' Facebook photo album:

You could scour the thrift shops and find old teapots and convert them!

I love these teapots!!! It looks lovely, it has this wonderful vintage touch which I really adore and it's such an unique decoration. It's beautiful, I feel very inspired right now...must look for teapots!

If you can ever get a hanging spider plant to really start growing, find a good place for it, they can be absolutely gorgeous. I have one at home (not the image below) that's barely hanging on, I can't seem to find a spot that it likes. In late spring I'm going to put it back outside, it does pretty well in partial sun.

Maddie, this is a GORGEOUS hanging basket, the image jumps right out at you as soon as you open the page.. Makes me look forward to the spring/summer months .. Where I live, it would be too cold to have the plant outside this time of the year.. that's why I need that green house ..

Claudine, as soon as I saw them I knew you would like them!

I was just thinking about spider plants! I haven't had one in ages and I can't even remember what happened to my last one. I think I must have given it to someone to take care of when I was moving or something because they are so easy to grow, I can't imagine having had any trouble with it.

Wow, this spider plant is enormous! And there are so many of them. It looks like a private jungle, I would love to have something like this in my room...but my room is probably too small . I tried to grow spider plants but I couldn't find a spot they like either

I have never thought of having a spider plant as a hanging plant. I will have a hanging basket with a spider plant growing from it as soon as I get a hook fixed... Or maybe I can have it hanging from the trellis on my balcony... I need to check this out. Thanks for the suggestion.
