This year? Got to be cactus hasn't it! ;) :D
Hanging Geraniums then because they don't need as much water as usual stuff (Petunias, Lobelia)
Lots of ivy to bulk it out- never fails!

I am very lucky i have a nice mother in law that does mine for me :D all i have to do is water them. At the moment i am doing very well with my winter pansies they are looking lush even if i do say so. I love to see ivy in hanging baskets also love trailing fuschias. Have to admit i am not the most green fingered person my garden is all gravel and everything is in tubs/pots baskets. There isnt a single plant/shrub in the ground :)

strawberries are easy and keeps slugs away from them high up in a basket!
plus you can eat them and nothing can beat home grown straws MMMMmmmmm
Has anyone tried cherry tomatoes?

Yes, in my conservatory. Got a fantastic crop and when they finished I cut the plant down, it regrew and got a pretty good second crop! :)
Yes, lovely in hanging baskets! I have grown them for two years now & always very sweet.
yes I've also grown cherry tomatoes they're easy and taste delicious.

This year I've just gone for a combination of geraniums and lobelia - not very original I know but I had loads of pots to do and thought I'd just stick with one theme - Ive also filled up loads of flower pouches and hung them up on the kennel walls (million bells and bizzy lizzies) - I spent hours last weekend planting out about 50 sunflower plants around the perimiter of the chicken area - the pesky critters have dug up about half :(

Yes I had cherry tomatoes in my hanging basket but the postman kept eating them :rolleyes: He's not so keen on bizzy lizzies.

I can remember having cherry tomatoes in a hanging basket in the back garden hanging off the summer house, when my daughter was about 3, I used to watch her throw her teddy or similar up to knock them off and then eat them! Before we caught her we used to wonder where they went!
