Think outside the hanging basket!
Whether you are short on space or want to brighten up an unloved area with something different, vegetable hanging baskets are easy make and visually stunning additions to the garden.
Any kind of trailing fruit or veg will look wonderful, but you can also add herbs, lettuces, and other small varieties of vegetable to the top. Or for an extra splash of colour, why not add marigolds or nasturtiums to your baskets – as well as looking good, they are edible and will make a great addition to summer salads.
