I bought two new hanging baskets today.  They are in the shape of a very large strawberry and I think they will look great.  I have some pansies and violas which I got at Tesco of all places.  They were small plugs but are now well grown plants.  The viola are yellow and the pansies are orange.  The two stone pots which stand on the steps to the sunken garden have geraniums in at the moment but they are now looking very tired so they will be replaced with a new planting scheme of Pony's tail grasses with orange pansies.  The grasses are also in the hanging baskets together with some long trailing ivy which I re-use each year and they look very good together with the yellow viola.  The pots ( these are large black plastic jobs which fit inside the stone urns in the garden) and the baskets are spending the night in the greenhouse and I will gently introduce them to the outside world over the next few days.  Now I must spend a good deal of time getting the compost out from under my nails!
