I am having a problem with finding suitable fruit n veg to grow in hanging baskets. I know about strawberries and tomatoes I have that sorted. I would like to know if anyone can help with other, preferably veg ideas? Unfortunately Google has not been my friend sad and I have 15 more hanging baskets to sort in this way!!
And while we're at it. If you were to be able grow anything vegetative in your garden what would you grow? I think I would like to grow coffee smile
Ive grown sald bowl stuff in hanging baskets before now!
Have a looksee for smaller trailing varieties of veg.. Peppers, Chilli's etc
I'll ask my ex when I see him for suggestions for ya x
potatoes
what?

oh an most dwaft varieties of veg can be grown in hanging baskets.....
Along with herbs (thats if you use them), radishes, spring onions, beets, carrots, bushy cuecumbers, squash, some beans....
Great ideas and worth a shot. What I'm really after though is tumblers/trailing things. :thumbup:
with so many to plant-up Lost, maybe save a couple to put aside for planting a small rainforest or two. Save the planet.

courgettes (sp? forgot about them!
you have make sure everything is really well watered if they are in a small space an make sure they dont run to seed to quickly!

Mix the odd trailing flower with veg....... nasturumns can be eaten but attract grren/black fly... normally use them to attract them away to veg not to them lol
lol I would prefer a nice deciduous English woodland landscape. Unfortunately 15 16" plasic hanging baskets may prevent such a aspiration biggrin
By the way LP. LP goes to horrid goes to random orbit????? what gives are you in a state of flux :D
Peas...... they would grow ok!
Have a looksee at this site:
not so much a state of flux Lost, as a localised melt-down.
deciduous woodland sounds lovely... thouh autumn leaf collection may prove problematic.
You'd be suprised at the self contained Rainforest... small and rapidly evolving life will soon populate such an isolated bio-sphere... just look at the Galapagos (diferent environment I'll admit, however the isolation will work to your advantage in much the same way. Just try to keep the numbers of finch to a minimum.)
I have a minature Rainforest environment all of my own at present on the bathroom wall... and spreading fast!
I keep a selection of magnifying glasses handy (differing magnifications) should any chance visitors need proof that I have a tiny and divers bio-sphere, and not simply slime-mould.
No monkies as yet, but then bananas are still a little thin on the ground.
But flies!
You should see the flies!!!

bugga youve got me on one now Lost!!

That's put me in the mood for some blue string soup.

H-x, your
Can blue string be attempted in a basket?
or string of any colour come to think of it?
lp
You can't serve soup in a basket, for the same reason that they don't sell olive oil in Boots.
