Later on this morning I assembled the hanging baskets bought yesterday from Aldi, two red and two white, at £4.99 each. They were bought on behalf of my son and his partner for their new house which luckily already has four brackets fitted to the wall. One tiny pink shoot was all the evidence of life I saw but as I am the eternal optimist I have great hopes. I shall keep them here until the last frost.
This is how they looked this morning and this is how I hope they will look in June.
