Gardening is like that though. I've just been to a garden centre where
people having been piling the most hideous mix (to my eyes) of bedding
and hanging basket plants onto their trollies, without much though for
whether the plants are all for sunny positions or for shady areas and
intend, from their remarks, them to all be placed together.

However they may not like my carefully co-ordinated pastel colour
schemes either but each to his own

When we make up hanging baskets for orders, we always ask if they're
going to be in sun or shade. Choice of colour is up to the customer, of
course. But when people choose for themselves, it's impossible to guide
them unless they ask for help.

If I concrete over my hanging baskets and before the concrete goes off I
stick a plastic daisy in it and I am pleased with it. Is that wrong? And
who are you or anybody else, to tell me it is wrong?

"MY" hanging basket. "MY" planning. "MY" pleasure.

A dig has already been made at someone's idea of hanging baskets. Shame on
you

What in the world are you talking about???? Surely everyone is entitled to
their own opinion? You are certainly expressing yours!

You've just found out why he's in most peoples' kill files. There's no
sense to many of these diatribes. Nobody has made a dig at anyone. If
people want help as to light or shade for their plants, or indeed any
help, they have only to ask is what I wrote. I actually said "Choice of
colour is up to the customer". Apparently, on Planet Crowe, this makes me
some kind of would-be arbiter of others' taste!

*rolls eyes* Understood!

""" Nobody has made a dig at anyone."""

No?

What's this? A Scotch Mist?

We've just gone past a house with about 6 hanging baskets. Every basket
is lined with black polythene and is planted only with one single
upright conifer about 2' tall. They are beyond ugly but they also look
serously weird. Whoever thinks of planting a conifer in a hanging
basket and all on its own, too?!

That appears to have come from you. Correct me if I am wrong.

?!? When was this thread?

Stag horn sumach is a bit tedious for its tendency to sucker and the
horribly tacky possibly skin sensitising resinous sap but it is quite
benign compared to its close relatives now called toxicodendrons.

I didn't see the original, so either I had the OP consigned to the sin bin,
or it's a long-gone thread.

Native here; the blooming spikes make a lovely lemon-flavored tea.
They're a frequent first colonizer when open fields are unmowed for a few
years.

It seems some posters got a bit hot under the collar, not helped

Hello im Clive, I have being nurturing them for about a year and have some varied specimens. if you like i can take some photos. They are in pots which is best first. They are best planted on a raised bed where suckers in the future are easily dealt with. Most have been lopped to form a different habit , some say more like a palm tree look.
