Converted Morrisons Pot

[bronwen]

Hello all,

Last week I decided to try converting a Morrisons pot to house some nasturtiums as I had more germinate than expected and have a lot of them! (And proving very useful too, several are attracting black fly and as yet there are none on anything else *touch wood*)

I also put in some marigolds (again, got a bit enthusiastic with the sowing!). It's not the most attractive thing ever but it serves a purpose, very cheap to do and looks okay. I cut four holes evenly spaced around the pot and planted a nasturtium in each hole, then planted at the top also.

Like that Bronwen and the fact that it can be moved around to where it will be of most use.

My missus really like her nasturtiums, she's got them everywhere, I have to say, they mix very well in a hanging basket with Lobelia, we've planted young Lobelia, then planted nasturtiums seed in amongst the Lobelia, they both grow great together, and you'll get a really great display when they are both flowering well, and in some of my baskets, I've used a Dahlia as the crown to the basket, and it looks realy beautiful.
