    HOUSELEEKS?

  • Thanks for the reply but I am needing something for hanging baskets really, I have a few houseleeks in the borders

    Best bet is to pop to your local nursery and see what they have.

    We're heading toward autumn now so most of the usual hanging basket inhabitants are no longer available, unless you have some in your garden you could use possibly.

    At least the houseleeks would have survived image

    I WASN'T BEING TOTALLY FACETIOUS.

    IF YOU CAN'T BE AROUND TO WATER HANGING BASKETS EVERY DAY, HOUSELEEKS CAN MAKE GOOD FILLERS.

    AS PETE SAYS, THERE WON'T BE MUCH IN THE SHOPS JUST NOW.
