I'm doing strawberries in hanging baskets, just for the fun of it!

has anyone used a clam shell planter before? My husband gave me two large ones for Christmas and I want to plant them up for next to our pool. They are not all that deep, however. What would your recommend?  I'm thinking annuals, grasses, succulents....

HI all, I have gotten this plant and thought it was more of a succulent than a pickier, moist, cool loving plant.. Oops.. I did READ the tag and wanted to place it in all sun, but found out it like cooler and moister part shade.. well darn.. So anyway, it is in a neat round container and I wil place it near the pond later..

It is a Sazifraga Touran Neon rose... Does not like humid/hot conditions. well WHAT is it doing in Oklahama!! Worst place for this kind of plant.. We'l see how it does.. All my plants in back that like sun has to be in containers this summer due to a tree that needs to come down later.. More pics later on..

I have not purchased one yet. Been putting it off  because of the fear of moving. But I want to get an endless summer.

Sue, so far so good.  It's easier to control the acidity of the soil and, at least here, they don't grow too quickly.  I put garden soil in the container and added acidifier -- 2 cups if you have an Endless Summer (the blue one), other than that, just enough to make the soil more acidic than alkaline.  You can check it if you have a soil gauge.

I have a 3 tier basket in my front yard. I want to plant some kind of low growing flower that will bloom all summer. I was thinking of pansies. Anyone have any other ideas?

Malinda- Hi, I love hydrangea.I maybe moving in the next year or two. So, I do not want to conmitte  to putting them in the group. How easy is it to grow them in a container, and what kind of special care do they need?

Hiya, I'm fairly new to container gardening and recently got a long stem rose bush that I plan to put in a pot. The tag states the bush can get to 5ft tall and 3ft wide, what size pot should I plant in so I don't have to repot every 2-3 yrs to a bigger pot? Thanks for any info.

I've decided to branch out this year as far as container gardening is concerned.  I've already put my blue hydrangea in a pot -- I thought it would be easier to get the acidity up to make the flowers blue.  Well, now I'm getting the new(er) vanilla-strawberry hydrangea and I don't have room in my shade garden, so I'm going to put that one in a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel.  I've already put a dwarf peach tree in one with some petunias and they love it.  -- must be the whiskey!!! :)
