Cineraria and Foxgloves in Bunnings now

Wondering if we can post garden pictures as well. I’ll add some more under this heading if allowed. Although I purchased punnets and punnets if stocks just yesterday, normally purchase fox gloves and cinerarias.

This morning planted up two hanging baskets joined together with pansies purchased in a nursery tray at Bunnings. Called a “Go Grow Bulk Tray”. I used the same bag the potting mix as a liner.

We're always happy to see some great garden inspiration and projects @Jamespeter100.

 

I'm loving your hanging baskets! This might be a silly question, but how do you water them? I suspect there must be a hole somewhere for that.

 

Many thanks for sharing.

Watering a sphere. Drainage holes at the bottom, four extra holes at the top. The extra holes are in the plastic, and allow a soft drink container to sit in the grove. This slows a slower flow rate, to soak the media. Another method is a ring of irrigation tube, with holes.

To show the media can be soaked over this depth, consider pvc pipes that have been planted up.

 I use to scrape off 100mm of soil, add 100mm of lawn cuttings from a lawnmower guy, then place the top soil back over the lawn cuttings. Was thinking the decaying lawn cuttings kept the cineraria seedlings warm. This was a lot of work, and the osmocote that Bunnings sell does the trick nowadays. One tea spoon in a little hole dug with a hand spade. The plants grow to one metre no problem. They are planted a hand space distance apart, and behind a screen of old fashion geraniums ( pelargoniums) that dampens the gully winds.
