Hanging Baskets

Because I am too cheap to spend $40, or even $25 on a hanging basket from the store, each year I make my own. I have four hooks hanging from the fence in the backyard and four hanging baskets that have been around forever. This year, I spent $42 on all four. This included potting soil for the baskets. They look a little small now, but by mid-summer they'll be beautiful.

This year I bought four of these gorgeous petunias, one for each basket.

Each basket also got a snapdragon - 2 yellow and 2 this wonderful shade of orange. Aren't they pretty?? Each basket also has pink verbena, but none of that is blooming. Yet.
