Bike Planter 2.

We've just finished popping the plants in the baskets. I chose ivy pelagoniums and geraniums for their hardiness and trailing. Since we often get temps in the high 30's and low 40's I'm afraid the English cottage garden plants I'd prefer are just a no-go.

They're peeping over the top but in a very short time they'll be trailing over the edges and looking pretty cheery under the gum trees. Do you know I couldn't find ivy, just plain old ivy, for love nor money. I even went wandering around the streets in a nearby town to see if I could pinch some from someones garden. :) I thought a few long tendrils would go nicely and "hurry" along the look. Oh well will just have to be patient. I've put a few pretty foliage plants in too; same family so should be quite hardy.

I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I can't wait for the plants to grow bigger and with the sort of warmth we've been having through the day they should be spilling out all over the place before long at all.
